Shelter

Strategic planting forming visual blocks between paddocks assists management of stags during the roar and aids the settling of deer in many other instances.

Planting along fence lines towards gateways can create a desirable flow-round-the-corner effect into lanes or other paddocks. 

Shade for lactating hinds in summer and on flat paddocks with no natural shelter in winter, should be given a high priority.
