Into the woods
Did you know that deer are not native to New Zealand? They were brought in from England and Scotland for sport in the mid to late 19th century.
THE OTHER RED MEAT
New Zealand is the home of the highest-quality venison, the other red meat. This is because the country is the ideal place for deer. Its climate is just perfect for deer to graze and grow in number.
Into the woods
Did you know that 30% of the country is forest? You have two groups of forest in NZ: natural and planted. Natural forest covers 24% of the land area while planted forest covers 5%.
New Zealand may be known for its All Blacks rugby team, but green is its unofficial color. From Abel Tasman to Waipoua, over 20 percent of the country is covered in national parks, forest areas, and reserves, containing an astounding variety of unspoiled landscape and vegetation.
Such areas are temperate and boast evergreen forests full of giant tree ferns, vines, and epiphytes. With an average annual rainfall of between 640 millimetres and 1,500 millimetres, it’s an ideal place for farming and horticulture.
Deer thrive in such vegetative habitats, but they’re farmed now to avoid deforestation as they are notorious tree munchers. Same for brushtail, which is an eco-friendly protein source benefiting both the preservation of the forest and your pet which, after eating this marsupial rich in omega-3, will see a boost in vitality.
