The deer in Phoenix Park should be culled in order to help with the rewilding of the park, the Irish Wildlife Trust has said.

The deer in Phoenix Park should be culled to help rewild the park, the Irish Wildlife Trust has said.Despite this, Pádraic Fogarty says they are harming the environment around them.The Hard Shoulder“People may not notice this but the deer actually eat any new tree saplings so we can’t get new tree generation.

Fallow deer are not native to Ireland and Mr Fogarty says red deer would do less damage to other wildlife.“So maybe not get rid of them entirely but reduce them severely and replace them with Irish deer.” Last month, world leaders met in Montreal to discuss the huge loss of biodiversity across the planet.“Green spaces have an enormous role in addressing the biodiversity crisis, they can teach an awful lot of people about native biodiversity,” he said.A stag and fallow in Phoenix Park, Dublin during heavy rain.
