Woodland Deer Management CourseKnoydart Forest Trust - Inverie 29th to 31st May 09 - The trust are running this course to develop their woodland deer management and to open the course up to other groups who would like to do the same.
Knoydart Forest Trust manages around 800ha of woodland, roughly half native woodland regeneration and half conifer plantation. The mixed woodland at Inverie (c250ha) is fenced on 3 sides and open to the sea on the fourth side, here we have succeeded in reducing the red and roe deer population to a level that is allowing natural regeneration, our aim is to maintain levels that will allow re-planting of felled areas.
Course Objectives: We are running this event in order to develop our own woodland deer management and to offer the same opportunity to other woodland groups. A practical based weekend aimed at: Existing and trainee stalkers who want to develop their woodland skills and techniques and Community Woodland project managers and management groups who want to increase their knowledge and understanding.
The Course will cover:
Why & How we need to manage woodland deer
Responsibilities and Legal Aspects
Deer Impact assessment and monitoring
Practical Woodland Stalking methods and techniques
