NatureScot said it recognised 80 per cent of Scotland’s deer management is carried out by private landowners and individuals at their own expense.
Deer managers across Scotland will have access to £190,000 of public funds to support them in reducing deer numbers under two new projects.
NatureScot said it has launched two funded pilot schemes in response to the rise in deer numbers contributing to climate and nature emergencies.
