<p>Primary responsibility for deer management lies with local landowners. Defra and
the Forestry Commission are members of the Deer Initiative Partnership which brings
together land management and conservation organisations, with the shared goal of sustainable
deer management. The Deer Initiative has produced guidance for deer managers. Defra
has not issued specific guidance to the Forestry Commission, which has its own operating
procedures for managing deer on the public forest estate.</p><p> </p>
