MORE ABOUT THE SURVEY
Although the Society has traditionally focussed its attention on wild deer, one of the foundation elements of the Society’s charitable status is the wider welfare and humane treatment of deer.
To assist with this the BDS has created a register of all enclosed or otherwise captive deer of any species in the UK. This is the first comprehensive list of its kind and is an invaluable asset.
The survey allows us to:
- advise the public on where they can view deer
- record endangered species
- allow us to react quickly to outbreaks of diseases affecting deer
THE RESULTS SO FAR
The document link below lists results for establishments that offer public access including name, location, species present and website, sorted by town/county.
The first six deer species listed are also present in the wild in Britain, thereafter the ‘exotics’ are alphabetic.
