Survey and Deer Management Plan Package - From £500
Understanding the dynamics of deer populations on your land is crucial for effective management and conservation. Our Survey and Deer Management Plan Package is specifically tailored to deliver precise insights and strategic guidance:
- Advanced Survey Techniques: Utilising state-of-the-art drone technology and thermal imaging, we conduct thorough surveys of your estate. This approach allows us to capture detailed data on deer movements, habitat conditions, and potential impact areas, providing a solid foundation for decision-making.
- Custom Deer Management Plans (DMP): Based on the survey data, we craft a bespoke Deer Management Plan. This plan includes a detailed assessment of the current deer population, their health status, and the ecological impact they have on your land. The DMP outlines strategic actions tailored to your specific objectives, whether they involve population control, habitat improvement, or both.
- Evidence Collection for Grants: Our service includes comprehensive data collection and documentation that support applications for various conservation grants, such as the WS1 grant. By aligning the DMP with grant requirements, we help maximise your chances of funding approval, ensuring that your management efforts are both sustainable and financially supported.
- Long-term Management Strategy: The Deer Management Plan is designed to span a 5-year cycle, with specific targets set for years 1, 3, and 5. This structured approach ensures ongoing adaptation and refinement of strategies based on continuous monitoring and emerging ecological needs.
