Understanding how deer and other herbivores affect your land. Clear data to inform better management decisions.
Understanding how deer and other herbivores affect your land. Clear data to inform better management decisions.
Habitat impact assessments are essential for understanding the relationship between herbivore populations and the land they live on. They provide the evidence base for informed management decisions — from cull targets to planting strategies.
We carry out structured assessments to measure the current condition of habitats, identify which herbivore species are responsible for specific impacts, and track changes over time through repeat monitoring.
Combined with drone survey data and field observations, our habitat assessments give a comprehensive picture of how herbivore pressure is affecting your land — and what can be done about it.
Our habitat impact assessments cover the key areas needed to understand herbivore pressure on your land.
Structured assessments of woodland, moorland, and grassland habitats to establish baseline condition and measure the extent of herbivore impact on vegetation, ground flora, and natural regeneration.
Identifying which species are responsible for observed impacts — red deer, roe deer, sika, goats, or sheep. Different species cause different damage patterns, and effective management depends on knowing which you're dealing with.
Repeat assessments over time to track how habitats are responding to management interventions. Monitoring tells you whether your current approach is working — or whether it needs to change.
Clear, practical reporting that translates field data into actionable recommendations. We don't just hand over raw data — we explain what it means and what you should do about it.
