WHAT WE DO
The British Deer Society [BDS] is a charity that operates throughout the UK dedicated to educating and inspiring everyone about deer.
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.
BDS 60th Anniversary
2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the British Deer Society. The charity launched in 1963 and this year we will be hosting several events across the UK to celebrate our diamond anniversary. While we continue to look to the future this is a great opportunity to remember all the hard work and achievements of the BDS as well as those many members who have contributed to our success.
