Deer Management Partnership

– Landowner Information –

The Deer Partnership Scheme is a key part of our overall service offerings that benefit both landowners and deer stalkers. Wild deer are a highly valued part of our natural heritage and are increasing in number and geographic range in the UK. Deer are a natural asset and integral to our countryside. At the same time, these positive values need to be balanced against the considerable negative impacts deer often have on agriculture, forestry, woodlands and the wider environment.

Therefore, deer need to be carefully managed. This helps keep the UK deer population at a sustainable level, maintains a healthy population and reduces the negative impact deer have on agricultural crops and our treasured woodland and forestry environments.
