FAQ: What else is happening with beavers in the UK?
The Scottish Beaver Trial is just one initiative to reintroduce beavers to the UK. Proposals to reintroduce the beaver to both England and Wales are also being developed independently of the Scottish Beaver Trial.
Stories about escaped beavers in different parts of the country are also sometimes in the news. These beavers have either escaped from private collections or have been deliberately and illegally released and are not connected to the government-licenced Scottish Beaver Trial.
