The RSPB is pushing ahead with plans to relocate beavers to their Loch Lomond nature reserve in Gartocharn – despite fierce opposition from local residents, farmers and anglers.
Last week the charity submitted a licence application to NatureScot to move a family of between two and six beavers to the Bonnie Banks, describing the potential move as “a huge milestone for beavers in Scotland.”
They add that they aim to work with the local community to address any concerns.
