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.

Deer Trivia: The Unsociable Roe
The roe is probably the least sociable of the UK’s deer, showing an apparent antipathy towards other species. The arrival of non-native species such as sika and muntjac saw some noticeable reductions of roe populations as numbers of the former increased.
Large numbers of fallow also appear to discourage roe from flourishing in some areas. Even in enclosed parks where other deer species readily tolerate each other, roe seldom do well with introductions almost invariably failing.
