THE IRISH DEER SOCIETY

The Irish Deer Society (IDS) was established in 1968, to monitor legislation and activities of organisations and agencies that may impact on deer, their habitat, and deer management practices. The IDS since its establishment has worked with government departments, representative bodies, and groups to ensure that the conservation of wild deer remains at a healthy and sustainable level throughout Ireland.

The society membership is made up of a wide range of people from all walks of life. It includes conservationists, deer stalkers, farmers, photographers, persons with scientific interest and persons who enjoy nature and observing deer in the wild. New membership of persons with an interest is always welcome and accepted.

All members are devoted to improving the welfare of wild deer and their habitat in Ireland.
