FAQ: How is the trial managed?
The Scottish Beaver Trial is a partnership project between Scottish Wildlife Trust and the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. The project is managed through a project steering group along with various other management groups responsible for different aspects of the trial, from field work to communications. Scottish Wildlife Trust employs a Scottish Beaver Trial Project Manager and a Field Officer, who are tasked with coordinating the implementation of the trial.
Forestry Commission Scotland is a host partner in the trial.
There is also a local Knapdale Beaver Trial Local Stakeholder Forum which is chaired by Argyll and Bute Council and ensures views of local stakeholders can be fed into the decision-making process for the trial.
