Our Mission Statement.
'To protect the environment,
by sustainably managing deer,
and providing for the community,
through consistent food banks supply'
Deer management is a legal requirement in Scotland.
Post-Brexit it has been difficult to secure a market
for the venison deer management naturally
creates. When populations reach extreme
levels industrial culls are carried out by
government agencies which receive public
backlash for welfare concerns and wastage of venison.
We look to provide a new venison outlet and long
term sustainable deer management, that can go hand
in hand. Venison will be butchered and packaged on-site
to maintain the lowest possible carbon footprint. We can embrace a zero waste system, with low carbon production, that benefits the health and wellbeing of the scottish people.
Zero Waste.
Alongside our five-year program a botany study will be carried out by renowned botanist Ben Averis to record the environmental pressures that an overpopulation of deer create. We want to gain a greater understanding of what an appropriate deer population density is and how we can use indicator species to identify areas of impacted land.​ Ben Averis has been teaching botanist groups on hill for decades due to its
mosaic of different habitats and high biodiversity.
Ben's ongoing studies will be available here:​​
