Beavers have been released in Boat of Garten!
The family have been released onto Milton Loch, where they’ll be monitored by the Cairngorms National Park Authority while they settle into their new home.
It has been wonderful to see how the Boat of Garten community has welcomed the arrival of this beaver family, a release that will help bring genetic diversity to the wider population and help progress Scotland’s Beaver Strategy.

Why do experts think we should be funding river corridor restoration?
After Making Space For Water’s panel on financing river corridors at the Labour Party Conference, we interviewed three of the panelists for their thoughts and experiences on river corridor restoration.
