Deer Management at Bush Walk Woods

Extended Diploma Countryside Management students have recently prepared deer management plans for a local woodland. They have carried out regular surveys of the wood including the use of ‘trail cam’s’ (remote cameras which can be positioned in the woods and will record movement of wildlife) to determine which deer species are present and their approximate numbers.

 

 

 

They have found that there is a healthy population of Reeves Muntjac present in the woods and have recently submitted plans which would ensure that the deer population does not negatively impact on the sensitive ground flora and planned coppice work in the woodland.
