Most deer species are increasing in numbers and extending their range, notably in lowland regions, with the overall English deer population estimated to be in excess of 300,000 animals. In some cases, this growth in numbers has resulted in deer moving into the urban/suburban environment and brought them into conflict with people in the form of garden damage and road traffic accidents. Gardens can be particularly attractive to deer because they provide much more variety of food in a concentrated area than most woodlands or farms. They also provide an excellent source of shelter from inclement weather. The most problematic of the six deer species to the urban/suburban environment are roe, muntjac and fallow and this leaflet is primarily focussed on the prevention of damage caused by these species.
