Grants & Funding – WS1 / Woodland Deer Control

If your woodland or estate is eligible, the WS1 (Deer Control & Management) woodland supplement can help offset the cost of deer control. This grant supports proactive deer management across woodlands, requiring a formal Deer Management Plan (DMP), periodic habitat impact assessments, cull records, and reporting to Forestry Commission authorities.

I can assist with the preparation and submission of WS1 / CWS1 applications, creating compliant DMPs, and handling ongoing monitoring and reporting to make sure you stay eligible for the funding.
