COMMUNITIES across Lochaber are being invited to discuss the possible reintroduction of beavers to the region as part of efforts to restore Scotland's native wildlife.

A series of drop-in consultations will be held next month by nature restoration partnership Loch Abar Mòr, giving residents, land managers and businesses the opportunity to learn more about the proposal and share their views.
