Deer Management Group boundaries
Boundary of all Deer Management Groups in Scotland.
Voluntary Deer Management Groups (DMGs) cover most of Scotland’s upland red deer range and adjacent land. Managing herds of red deer where they range across vast tracts of upland terrain benefits from a collaborative approach.
Each group comprises representatives from landholdings within the group’s area. The diversity of owners and their management objectives within groups is increasingly varied. Proactive engagement from landowners within the group’s area is important to ensure the deer are managed in a way which best meets the different aims of the various landholdings.
The Association of Deer Management Groups (ADMG) is the organisation which represents its member DMGs and is a key stakeholder in the deer management sector. NatureScot works closely with ADMG to support DMGs in their deer management planning and decision making.
