Deer Working Group Report

In late March, the Scottish Government published its response to the report from the independent Deer Working Group on ‘The management of wild deer in Scotland’. The earlier SACS response can be found HERE.

SACS has joined other deer and countryside groups - the Association of Deer Managment Groups, BASC, British Deer Society, Countryside Alliance, National Farmers Union of Scotland, Scottish Gamekeepers Association, Scottish Land and Estates, and Scottish Venison - to issue a joint statement.

There is a lot more to follow on this matter - we will keep you informed. When we need your involvement we'll let you know.
