It was fantastic to host Laura Moodie MSP, the new beaver Nature Champion, at Bamff estate last week! After a presentation on ecology, landscape benefits and policy, we then walked around Bamff to see dams. @electlauramoodie.bsky.social @scotlink.bsky.social @scotwildlife.bsky.social
Thank you to everyone who came to Member's day at Bamff this weekend 🦫 Louise gave a fantastic talk about the wetlands, explaining how they have transformed the landscape. This was followed by a tour of the dams; we saw how biodiversity and life had come back to this previous pasture! 🦋🌸🐦⬛
Just finished Any Questions, up against Richard Tice. I knew there would be plenty of BS on climate, but he spouted rubbish on *every* subject. Even claimed that the EU is not our biggest trading partner, but the US. In fact, we have 3x more trade with the EU. He believes whatever he wants to.

A fantastic couple days at the @beavertrust conference 2026! There were many engaging talks and workshops, some from our very own members. From genetics to wetlands, we heard from farmers to students and everyone in-between. Well done Beaver Trust! #BeaversAcrossBritain #BeaverConference2026
✨A call for volunteers! ✨ We need volunteers to help manage our social media and create simple posts and graphics. This is your chance to get creative! 🎨 This would consume a couple hours a week, working alongside other members to share beaver articles and news 🦫 scottishwildbeaver@gmail.com
Many of our native trees co-evolved with beavers for millions of years. Beavers coppice trees, in turn encouraging new regrowth; this creates rich habitats for other species while aiding in riverbank stabilisation. Green Aspiration - coppicing events www.greenaspirationsscotland.co.uk/coppiceb
This election matters for Scotland's beavers! 🦫🏴 Beavers improve biodiversity, capture floodwaters and increase our climate resilience. Invest in long-term and green solutions on Thursday! ✅ Please consider what is best for everyone in society and our natural environment. ✨
