SWT HQ and the Callander Group Committee have each submitted a letter of support to Nature Scot (ex SNH) for the Argaty proposal to provide habitat for relocation of beavers from the expanding Tayside population to avoid their culling. A decision is expected after a presentation to the Reintroduction Forum in May.
