Deer Management Partnerships for Conservation & Wildlife Organisations

Looking For Deer Management for Conservation & Wildlife organisations?

Deer Management for Conservation & Wildlife Organisations

Deer are an integral part of the ecosystem, but without careful management, overpopulation can threaten woodland regeneration, biodiversity, and protected habitats. We partner with conservation organisations, to deliver science-driven, compliant, and effective deer management across Dorset and the South West.

This is not trophy hunting or recreational stalking — it’s a professional, evidence-based management strategy focused on ecological balance, habitat restoration, and long-term results.

Why Conservation Deer Management Matters

Balancing deer populations is key to protecting biodiversity, supporting recovery, and sustaining healthy herds:

  • Protect Habitat & Biodiversity: Maintain deer populations at levels that allow natural regeneration and reduce ecological pressures.

  • Support Species Recovery: Enable hedgerows, woodlands, and priority species habitats to recover naturally.

  • Sustain Healthy Deer Herds: Prevent overpopulation, disease, and malnutrition through monitored management.

  • Tailored to Reserves & Protected Areas: Plans consider the specific ecology, land use, and long-term objectives of each site.

    Our tailored plans are so robust and compliant that we're trusted to manage deer on selected Natural England reserves — testament to our adherence to the highest wildlife and conservation standards
