It is designed to pull together and co-ordinate the management of wild deer at a Government level, in a way which is supported and shaped by all individuals and organisations involved in wild deer management.
The Deer Commission has been the lead on the joint strategy, with Scottish Natural Heritage, Forestry Commission Scotland, the Scottish Government. There has also been input from an advisory group made up of representative organisations.
