Tapping into those natural food reserves can help rebalance woodland, where in the absence of predators such as wolves, many populations of deer and boar have soared. Because they eat buds and saplings, this contributes to forest devastation. The inescapable result is that rangers are having to manage the animals. And by far the tastiest way of solving this problem is by eating it.
