Through our education and research, we raise awareness about wild deer and the issues surrounding them. We provide training to actively ensure deer can be managed humanely and safely to the very highest of standards.
We want to ensure wild deer in the UK are respected and valued while being kept healthy and at sustainable numbers, so they can benefit biodiversity and the wider environment.

Petworth Park in West Sussex is famous for its fallow deer, considered to be one of the finest park herds in Britain with bucks renowned for their outstanding antler characteristics.
The herd is believed to have been established some five hundred years ago and today numbers up to 800 animals.
The natural looking landscape they inhabit was in fact designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in the mid-18th century.
Petworth also contributed to the revival of roe deer in southeast England after its then owner, Lord Egremont, reintroduced them to the area at around the start of the 19th century.
