Rory Putman - The Deer Manager's Companion - a Guide to the Management of Deer in the Wild and in Parks

Swan Hill Press, 2003. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9781904057031 Clean bright pages, firm binding, minimal wear to jacket. A well-kept copy, almost as new. In response to changing patterns of land use, deer are increasing in numbers and in distribution throughout much of the UK and continental Europe (as also in North America). At the same time awareness of deer and their impact is also increasing; new problems are arising and new solutions must be sought. This book is an attempt to present some of the results of recent scientific research into deer and their management and show how that increased understanding may be used to develop more informed and more effective management for the future. It reviews the factual evidence about deer numbers and their impact as pests of agriculture, forestry and conservation habitats and seeks to assess the actual economic significance of damage caused (dispelling a few cherished myths along the way). It then reviews the options for management of deer and their environment - for control of damage, for control of deer numbers or for exploitation - and carefully assesses the advantages and disadvantages of each available option. A final section, co-written with Dr Jochen Langbein, reviews new scientific knowledge of the ecology and behaviour of park deer and implications of this new knowledge in management of these park populations a topic which has never really been given proper attention in previous works on deer management. 176 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Animals & Birds; ISBN/EAN: 9781904057031. Inventory No: dscf11251.
