Breadalbane DMG are currently taking forwards their Deer Management Plan, which can be located below. It comprises a number of documents, including maps and population models, along with essential background information and a Working Plan.
If you would like to make comment on our plan, or bring up any new queries, please contact the Group Secretary at victor@nativewoods.co.uk.
Main Documents
BDMG Background Information and Policies Document
The Working Plan document evolves as work progresses. The Plan shown here is the updated version from spring 2025. The above plan has been superceded to some extent by a higher than anticipated count in spring 2024. The spreadsheet below shows how the counted population will be reduced over the coming three years back to target densities, and is effectively our working plan from 2024-25 to 2026-27. This document will be updated early June 2025 after 2025 recruitment counting in May.
