Adopt a beaver

Support the Scottish Beaver Trail by adopting the beaver families in Knapdale. For your £15 donation, you will receive an adoption certificate, a beaver fact sheet, SBT car window sticker and invites to attend the two adopter evenings at Edinburgh Zoo. Your adoption will last a whole year!

If you wish to ADOPT A SCOTTISH BEAVER then please phone the adoption office on 0131 314 0374 (Monday - Friday, 9am-5pm).

We have already received generous donations from both members of the public and funders, including Biffaward and the People’s Trust for Endangered Species. But we still need to raise around £305,000, so your individual support for our trial is essential to us.

Every gift makes a vital contribution as it will help us fulfil all of the objectives of the Scottish Beaver Trial and ensure that these fascinating creatures can make the most of their new home in Knapdale.

Alternatively you can help Scotland's wildlife by becoming a member of the Scottish Wildlife Trust or the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. Please click on the names to visit their websites.

Get Involved

There are also some opportunities to get involved with the daily tasks of the beaver trial by volunteering to help our field officer with monitoring and surveying activity. Please visit our Get Involved page to see just how rewarding it would be as a volunteer for the Scottish Beaver Trial.
