FAQ: What will happen if beavers stray outside the trial area?
Beavers are highly territorial and re-colonisation takes place based on the suitability of the area as a beaver habitat. There are many suitable locations for the beavers to re-colonise within the trial area. The landscape of Knapdale Forest, which has self-contained lochins surrounded by steep hills, means that the beavers are likely to remain within the trial site because beavers do not like to travel on land for long periods of time.
