Deer Management Plan
Why a Deer Management Plan Matters
​
A deer management plan is one of the most effective ways to protect your land, crops, and woodlands while ensuring healthy and sustainable deer populations.
Without a clear plan, deer numbers can increase rapidly, leading to serious problems such as crop losses, damage to young trees, reduced biodiversity, and even higher risks of road traffic accidents. Overpopulation can also cause unnecessary suffering for the deer themselves through poor body condition and disease.
By putting a structured plan in place, landowners can take a proactive approach rather than reacting to problems once the damage has been done. A good plan sets clear objectives, identifies realistic cull targets, and ensures everything is carried out in line with legislation and best-practice standards. It gives landowners confidence that deer are being managed responsibly, humanely, and effectively.
​
Most importantly, a deer management plan is about balance. It protects the long-term health of the land, supports biodiversity, and allows deer to thrive in numbers the environment can sustain. For landowners, that means peace of mind, healthier habitats, and a sustainable future for farming, forestry, and wildlife.
