Following the success of our first conference in 2015, ‘The Necessary Beaver’, join us on 6 July to celebrate and discuss the reintroduction of the Eurasian beaver in our 2019 conference, ‘The Beaver: Scotland’s Ally’.
The European beaver is the first mammal to be reintroduced to the UK and is beginning to flourish in some parts of Scotland after a 400 year gap but is still threatened by lack of understanding of their ecosystem, methods of mitigation and unknown levels of persecution and killing.
These remarkable mammals have a huge amount to offer us and can play a key role in the restoration of natural waterways, bringing a boom in biodiversity and amelioration of some of our worst environmental problems, including flooding, drought and pollution, as well as assisting a growth in ecotourism
