In my capacity as Chair of the Scottish Rewilding Alliance, I have written to the Cabinet Secretary for the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform asking that translocation of beavers be permitted from Tayside to other areas outside their existing range.
Trees for Life has also written to Scottish Natural Heritage offering to make land available for beavers translocated from Tayside and we have contacted them ourselves to share our experience of opening balanced conversations about beavers with local communities.
