Biosecurity Queensland is working with Gympie Regional Council to conduct surveys of feral deer populations using thermal imagery.<\/p>\n

The first round of surveys were conducted earlier this year across four locations in the Gympie Regional Council area.<\/p>\n

The most widespread feral deer species in Gympie shire is the red deer, although there are also chital, rusa and fallow deer.<\/p>\n

Feral deer cause concern to the plantation forest industry because they damage young trees and seedlings.<\/p>\n

Biosecurity Queensland believes using thermal imagery could greatly increase the detectability of deer, especially in timbered areas, increasing the accuracy of population surveys.<\/p>\n

Future surveys will be conducted with the co-operation of other partners including HQ Plantations, Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Powerlink, Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and local landholders.<\/p>\n

The surveys will be conducted bi-annually for two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
