During the summer of 2007 Adam Bedford, an MSc student at Newcastle University’s Centre for Rural Economy, undertook at research project on Deer Management in Northumberland. Adam undertook the research through a placement jointly funded by Northwoods and Northumberland National Park as part of his MSc in Rural Development and Resource Management.
The overall aim of this piece of research is to investigate the future options for deer management in Northumberland through a review of current knowledge on deer management practices in the UK, an explanation of how deer management groups work and an examination of what practical action could be taken to improve the management of deer in Northumberland.
The results of this research have led to a series of recommendations for the future management of deer in Northumberland. These include the further identification of training opportunities for deer stalkers, the production of a detailed map of deer management for the case study area, the further development of collaboration in deer management through existing projects and the identification of potential leaders of a collaborative approach in the deer management community.
