Critical Source Areas

Critical source areas (CSAs) are small, low-lying parts of farms such as gullies and swales where runoff accumulates in high concentration. This site gives options to manage CSAs to reduce runoff losses

Water, soils and wallowing

Deer have specific natural needs and behaviours and if incorrectly managed, deer can threaten the quality of water and soil, cause erosion, compaction and pugging of soils, and the consequent runoff of nutrient, sediment and coliforms will result in contamination of waterways with undesirable behaviour including excessive pacing, wallowing, and digging in soils.
