Question 1

What is immediate deer population control and when is it needed?

Accepted Answer

Immediate deer population control in Dorset is a professional service designed to quickly reduce deer numbers where they are causing severe damage to farmland, forestry, or habitats. This is not recreational stalking – it is targeted, licensed population reduction carried out by trained deer managers using ethical, effective methods.

Question 2

How does long-term deer management benefit farms and estates?

Accepted Answer

Long-term deer management provides a sustainable approach to protecting land and habitats in Dorset. Through surveys, cull planning, and regular monitoring, landowners can prevent overpopulation, safeguard crops and woodlands, and maintain healthy deer herds without the risks associated with unmanaged growth.

Question 3

Can deer management support conservation and biodiversity goals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Professional deer management is a key part of conservation in Dorset. By keeping populations at sustainable levels, we protect woodland regeneration, improve biodiversity, and support the objectives of organisations such as Natural England, Wildlife Trusts, and Forestry England.

Question 4

Are grants available for deer management in Dorset?

Accepted Answer

Farmers and landowners in Dorset can apply for funding through Countryside Stewardship grants, such as WS1 Deer Control and PA7 Deer Management Plans. These schemes support deer population control, monitoring, and fencing where needed. We hold the qualifications and experience to carry out the surveys, prepare the plans, and provide the evidence required for successful applications.
