Beavers and the Cairngorms National Park - Grant Moir

This document contains a letter from the Cairngorms National Park Authority to Badenoch and Strathspey farmers and crofters regarding the reintroduction of beavers to the National Park. It discusses the Park Authority's approach to beaver management, including awaiting the NatureScot translocation licence, the extensive engagement programme with farmers, identifying beaver release locations, and the Park Authority's commitment to responding quickly to farmer concerns and providing support for mitigation measures like tree protection and dam removal. The letter also addresses flood bank protection, offering grant assistance for beaver-caused breaches until March 2026, and highlights the upcoming Farmers Forum in January 2024 to foster dialogue on key issues facing farming in the National Park.
