  The population of wild deer in Great Britain is over 1,000,000 and, depending on their management, they represent either a substantial national asset or a serious pest. The practical management of woodland and deer is a very necessary skill in intelligent land usage. Trees and Deer sets out in detail a policy for the successful integration of forestry with the management and control of deer. The suggestions made are intended to ensure that humane deer management may be combined with other enterprises. This is a book which will benefit foresters, farmers, gardeners, naturalists, sportsmen, and the animals themselves. Richard Prior worked for the Forestry Commission for 16 years during the final part of which he was Conservancy Wildlife Consultant. He spent five years with the Game Conservancy as Information Officer and Deer Consultant and now runs his own consultancy company and advises The Game Conservancy, The British Deer Society and estates throughout Great Britain.
