Human-Deer Conflicts

The countryside of Sussex, Surrey, and Hampshire showcases a blend of human habitation and natural wilderness, often leading to interactions between residents and the local deer populations. While deer are a cherished part of our natural heritage, their proximity to human dwellings and agricultural lands can sometimes lead to conflicts.

Wildscape Deer Management is dedicated to mediating such human-deer conflicts, employing a blend of expertise and ethical practices to ensure a harmonious coexistence.

Unveiling the Spectrum of Human-Deer Conflicts

Agricultural Damage:
Deer can cause significant damage to crops, leading to financial losses for farmers. Their grazing habits can also impact pasture lands, affecting livestock.
Vehicle Collisions:
Deer crossing roads, especially during dusk and dawn, can result in dangerous collisions causing damage and injury.
Landscape and Garden Damage:
Deer are known to feed on ornamental plants, flowers, and shrubs, which can be frustrating for homeowners and land managers.
Transmission of Diseases:
Deer can be carriers of diseases such as Lyme disease, which can be transmitted to humans through tick bites.
Impact on Native Vegetation and Wildlife:
Overpopulated deer herds can overgraze native vegetation, impacting the habitat of other wildlife and overall biodiversity.
