Malvern Hills National Landscape

Happy Christmas from all at the Malvern Hills National Landscape! Weve had a year of hard work rewarded by many successes which well reveal when we publish our annual review; couldnt have done it though, without the enthusiasm and support of all who live in the area: our thanks to you for making the area such a great place to live and work.

How many deer are there in and around the Malvern Hills National Landscape? Thats an impossible question to answer with precision but our knowledge of deer numbers is about to improve dramatically thanks to a survey that took place this week funded by the #forestrycommission.

More than 40 landowners gave permission for a small team of operators to fly drones over their land to record densities and species of deer using thermal imaging technology. Understanding numbers and distribution is crucial in helping to assess the impacts that deer might have on local woodlands and other habitats both now and in the future. The data collected will be provided to land owners and used in consideration of future management.

Thank you to all participating owners and to the Forestry Commission.

Hi all, apologies for the delayed reply. There are 6 species of deer living wild in the UK, we think 3 of these are found in the local area but the data will show us. We'll produce an overview of the findings.

…and how many different species of deer species are there?

I hope you publish an overview of the data, it sounds really interesting

Sounds fascinating – look forward to seeing the results
