Deer at the RSPB’s Gartocharn nature reserve are set to be culled.
The RSPB, who run the Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve (NNR), say that the move is essential to prevent the animals causing further damage to habitats.
They say that a decision taken earlier this year to reintroduce beavers to areas of the reserve has not led to the move, with a spokesperson telling the Lennox that beaver activity does not destroy woodland as deer browsing does.
