FAQ: What is the purpose of the beaver trial?

The purpose of the trial is to help us determine whether or not the reintroduction of beavers in Scotland is feasible and beneficial to nature conservation. Our time-limited trial will assess the impact beavers activities have on the local environment and how well they settle into their new habitat here in Scotland - comparing these with the intensive research and management in mainland Europe.
