Deer Management Plan

13- Yes

Arran DMG has recently developed and endorsed a new Deer Management Plan, which is located below. The Plan will change and evolve as time progresses, and any commentary on this is welcome.  Any queries on the development of the plan are invited to either of the email addresses on the Contacts page.

The various components of the new Plan are listed here below. They include text documents as well as maps and databases. These documents were updated as part of the DMP review in 2021.
