In plain English

The New Forest National Park Authority requires a historical and cultural analysis of deer in the New Forest landscape to inform deer management strategies. No special requirements are stated.

Description from the notice

The New Forest National Park Authority, Natural England and Forestry Commission are working together to convene experts and stakeholders to produce a Protected Site Strategy (PSS) and Strategic Action Plan (SAP) for deer management for the New Forest National Park and surrounding area. The New Forest National Park is a landscape of significant historical, cultural, and ecological importance, in which deer have long played a defining role. Understanding the historical and cultural context of deer within the New Forest can help inform current deer management, support stakeholder engagement, and strengthen public narratives around nature, landscape, and land use. The outputs will be used to inform and support the stakeholder engagement and co-design of the Strategy.
