Online survey on future of deer

Experts say deer numbers are rising

People using the Devon countryside are being asked to take part in a survey about the best way to control the growing deer population.

Researchers at the University of Bath say there has been a rise in deer numbers and up to a third may have to be culled.

The research aims to find out how countryside users think deer numbers should be managed in future.

People are being asked to complete an on-line questionnaire.

It can be completed through the University of Bath's website.

The survey aims to help provide clear evidence of public opinion to better inform policy makers and agencies managing the countryside.
