‘For nature restoration in Scotland to be a success…stalkers are absolutely fundamental.’
We couldn’t agree more. Please watch ⬇️ #DeerManagement
On Tayvallich estate we have around 20 deer per km² @NatureScot guidance suggests that deer densities should be around 2 deer per km² in woodlands where regeneration is a priority.
Reducing numbers is difficult but essential ecological stewardship.

While this is a small-scale trial and further testing is essential, the initial results suggest that:
* untreated saplings suffered the heaviest browsing
* Trico reduced damage
* saplings protected with sheep fleece showed the lowest levels of browsing

Thanks @jimfairliesnp.bsky.social for joining WT & Arkaig Community Forest on a super visit to #LochArkaig Pine Forest this week to talk #DeerManagement. We're at a critical juncture in Scotland. With the right regulation & incentive, and strong partnerships, Scotland's nature can thrive in balance.
Deer management is far from a marginal issue - it sits at the heart of our ambitions for nature restoration and climate action. If we are serious about restoring degraded ecosystems and meeting our climate goals, we must think differently about how we manage the land. #DeerManagement
