Environmental Management Handbook Modules

The Deer Industry Environmental Management Handbook modules are a practical, online companion to the Deer Industry Environmental Management Code of Practice.

By working through the sections in this manual that apply to you, you will get most of your Farm Environment Plan done. Each Action Plan section covers a specific area that has some environmental risk, eg, wallows, fence pacing, winter crops.

DINZ is here to help you with your environment plan. If you have any feedback, or spot a gap, or need some help then please get in touch phil.mckenzie@deernz.org
