Scottish Beaver Advisory Group SBAG
Scotland’s Beaver Strategy 2022-2045 was published in September 2022 and guides the current approach to beaver conservation and management in Scotland. It was co-produced by more than 50 stakeholder organisations and was facilitated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Conservation Planning Specialist Group (CPSG).
The Scottish Beaver Advisory Group (SBAG) was subsequently established to monitor, review and guide delivery of Scotland’s Beaver Strategy. The group has an advisory role in supporting delivery partners.

The following recommendations have been developed after two meetings of the SBAG Management and Mitigation sub-group with a focus on woodland management issues. The recommendations arising do not sit with a single organisation, but are intended to act as a focus for delivery by a range of organisations.
