S6W-39055
Asked by: Tuesday 22nd July 2025 Question To ask the Scottish Government how it supports deer management in (a) lowland and (b) semi-rural areas. Answered by Fairlie, Jim - Minister for Agriculture and Connectivity Good deer management is about achieving balance, what that looks like in different local areas will vary depending on the immediate environment and the impact deer may be having. That is why we have introduced new purposes for deer management in our Natural Environment Bill. We recognise, however, that we need to use both regulation and incentive to support our deer management aims. Three pilot incentive schemes led by NatureScot and the Cairngorms National Park Authority (CNPA) ran in 2024/25 to financially support deer managers to control numbers of deer in specific parts of Scotland in response to the climate and nature emergencies. Pilot schemes are expected to return in these areas for the 2025/26 season as well as expand to further locales including within Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. In addition to this, in the lowlands specifically we are supporting deer management through the Low Ground Venison Supply Chain Project which will explore ways to help low ground deer managers improve the infrastructure for handling and chilling venison carcasses and increase throughput. 13 applicants have been issued grant funding to date. As set out in our 2025-26 Programme for Government, we are committed to working with stakeholders on “the development of local pilot projects on deer management programmes, including an implementation plan and funding models deer management”. |
