Why do we manage deer in the UK?

Deer populations in the UK are growing exponentially due to a lack of natural predators and increasingly favourable habitats.

As numbers rise, so does the pressure on woodlands conservation sites and landscapes targeted for recovery. This unchecked growth leads to overgrazing reduced biodiversity and long term damage to natural tree regeneration.

Effective deer management is essential to support biodiversity net gain protect emerging woodland and ensure carbon sequestration targets are met across the UK.
