Yesterday, our restoration team was thrilled to release another pair of beavers into the quieter shores and lochans of Loch Morlich, owned by @forestryandlandscot
This marks another exciting step in establishing a wild population in the Spey catchment, as granted under licence from @NatureScot, and in realising the vision set out in Scotland’s Beaver Strategy.
Across Europe, it is common for beavers to inhabit freshwater systems popular for human recreational activities, where their engineering enhances biodiversity and creates engaging natural spaces for people to enjoy.
Naturally shy and typically active at dawn and dusk, beavers are expected to avoid direct interaction with people. However, we ask you to remember that they are sensitive wild animals. While they may share our spaces, it is crucial to give them the respect and quiet they need to settle into their new surroundings.
The return of beavers to the Cairngorms National Park has been led by @TheCairngorms, working closely with partners, land managers, and local communities.
