Deer Information Session

Deer are now embedded in the local area and are having increasing impacts on agriculture and natural resources such as water quality and native forests. They are classified as a game animal and have regulations around their management. This workshop will discuss what landholders can do to manage deer, look at options for control on public land and how the community can work with hunters to manage deer numbers.

The North East CMA invites community members to drop in on an information session for the Upper Ovens River Flood Study.
