Bringing beavers back to the Cairngorms

20 May 2025

This document contains the Cairngorms National Park Authority's commitment to helping land managers live alongside beavers. The Park Authority will act as the main contact for managing beavers in the National Park. They'll offer support to businesses, landowners, and the public, including a dedicated Beaver Project Manager, monitoring beaver activity, and talking with landowners to identify high-impact areas. The Park Authority will also help with licence applications for mitigation work and provide funds for small-scale projects. The document also outlines scenarios and details what the national mitigation scheme and the Park Authority will do in each case, covering things like protecting trees, dealing with dams, and managing burrows. They can also help with translocation or lethal control of beavers if other methods don't work.
