Deer Damage
Understanding the real cost
Recognising the real of cost of deer damage on your land
Deer are recognised as a source of significant damage to agriculture, forestry and natural habitats across the UK. Impacts include crop loss, browsing of young trees and reduced timber quality. Official government sources note that “some individual landowners have lost more than £1 million per year to deer damage,” although no single national cost figure is currently available. This reflects the potential scale of impact in unmanaged situations.
