Wild deer management is an essential part of woodland management and supports a sustainable approach to meat production. Within properly functioning ecosystems, deer play an important role for biodiversity and habitat quality. However, without any predators, large deer populations can have a devastating effect on their environment. The Forestry Commission supports land managers and farmers to manage woodland sustainably and ensure standards and traceability for a reliable and ethical outlet for the meat as a by-product. We want to workshop ideas to create a viable market for wild venison and ways to promote its benefits as a cheap and healthy source of protein.
