A national strategy has been published setting out what has been described as a “route map” for beavers Perth and Kinross and beyond over the coming decades.
The development of ‘Scotland’s Beaver Strategy 2022-45’ has involved more than 50 stakeholder organisations and is designed to steer wider efforts to identify and actively expand the population of the animals to new catchment areas, alongside appropriate management and mitigation, following the Scottish Government’s change in policy to encourage wider beaver restoration.
It sets out plans to maximise the environmental and wider benefits of beavers, while minimising negative impacts through effective management and mitigation.
