Help protect Cardinia Shire’s biodiversity with DeerScan

The DeerScan App is a free resource that anyone can use to record sightings of deer, report damage or problems they cause, and record control actions.

Deer are an introduced species that cause significant damage to pastures, crops, orchards, residential gardens, environmentally sensitive areas, and native vegetation.

The DeerScan App assists landholders, communities  local governments and agencies such as  the  Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) to support strategic pest animal management.

• Develop a property or local area map of wild deer activity to guide control efforts,
