Next year for approximately 20 days, highly trained teams in helicopters will shoot fallow deer in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, including The Walls of Jerusalem National Park.
The Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service has received $440,000 in funding from the federal government to launch the pilot program to cull feral deer roaming in the state's national parks.
The trial, a first for Tasmania, will most likely occur in May 2023 and then again a year later in May 2024.
