Habitat Alteration

Sussex, with its picturesque landscapes, is home to a rich variety of wildlife. At the core of its ecological stability is a delicate balance between fauna and flora. However, an unmanaged deer population can significantly alter this balance, leading to habitat alteration.

Wildscape Deer Management is here to guide landowners through the complexities of habitat alteration caused by deer, providing expert solutions that aim to restore and maintain the ecological equilibrium.

Unfolding the Layers of Habitat Alteration

Vegetation Depletion:

Overbrowsing by deer can lead to severe depletion of vegetation, impacting the availability of food and shelter for other wildlife.

Alteration of Forest Structure:

Continuous grazing disrupts the natural regeneration of trees and shrubs, altering the forest structure and creating a less diverse habitat.

Impact on Ground-Nesting Birds:

The loss of understorey vegetation can adversely affect ground-nesting birds by exposing nests to predators and harsh weather conditions.

Spread of Invasive Species:

Overgrazing creates spaces for invasive plant species to thrive, further stressing native vegetation and altering habitat quality. 

Soil Erosion and Water Quality:

The cascading effects of vegetation depletion can lead to soil erosion, which in turn, affects water quality in nearby water bodies.
