France – Hunting services – Gestion de la Faune dans les propriétés et les parcs départementaux

This service contract concerns wildlife management on departmental properties and parks. The services cover the management of several species, primarily those posing ecological and/or health problems and therefore requiring population control measures (European rabbit, coypu, Florida turtle, Canada goose, oak and pine processionary caterpillars, etc.), as well as the control of domestic species (stray dogs and cats) and the disposal of animal carcasses. The contract also includes the installation, inspection, and cleaning of nest boxes. Nest box installation is notably a preventative management measure against processionary caterpillars. This contract does not include rodent control or pigeon management services (a contract awarded in 2023 by the Department of Youth and Sports (DEJ) and services requiring more specialized expertise from pest control companies, also known as "3D companies").
