"The aim of this book is to provide some ideas and useful ways forward for those who are facing the challenge of integrating woodland and deer management in lowland England... The author's purpose is to help deer stalkers, deer managers and those charged with estate and woodland management to define deer management priorities and develop effective and practical approaches to them... It is possible to accommodate recreational hunting within a successful deer management scheme in woodlands, but only if the requirements of the chosen woodland management system are given precedence. This is an alternative to lowland deer management. It will help landowners, land agents, forest managers, stalkers or deer managers to define and meet their own objectives within a general framework of guiding principles." The foreword is by Rod Leslie.
