Guidance - Managing the impacts of beavers in Scotland

The law protects beavers but this doesn't mean you can't do anything to prevent damage they cause. There are lots of things you can do without a licence. This guidance explains how to get NatureScot help, what management does and doesn't need a licence and, if you need a licence, how to get one.
