FAQ: Will there be compensation for damage?

It is not anticipated that the beavers will cause any significant economic damage to the property of neighbouring landowners and managers during the trial and we have deployed a range of techniques including radio tagging to follow the animals' movements. As with all projects, there is a small contingency fund in the budget for unforeseen eventualities and the relevant insurance is in place.

"The Scottish Beaver Trial has been widely anticipated in Argyll and Bute. I am fully supportive of the project and look forward to the day when beavers are back in Knapdale Forest." - Councillor Donald MacMillan
