This document contains an update on the "Bringing Beavers Back" project in the Cairngorms National Park. The Cairngorms National Park Authority has been working on reintroducing beavers to the area and is providing support to landowners and communities. They have released beavers into the Upper Spey catchment, are monitoring their activity, and have set up groups like the Cairngorms Agricultural Advisory Group (CAAG) to help share information and manage any issues. The Park Authority is also taking steps to protect trees and working with estates to create beaver trails. According to senior managers, there are currently no matters of strategic significance that need further action.
