Beavers

The decision on the future of beavers in Scotland is currently being considered by the Scottish Government.  In June 2015 SNH submitted its comprehensive 'Beavers in Scotland' report to government to help inform their decision.  The report summarises twenty years of work on beavers, including the Scottish Beaver Trial, the Tayside Beaver Study Group and a range of other projects and initiatives which have looked at all aspects of beaver biology, their interactions with the natural and human environment and their management.  The following pages will tell you more.
