One of Scotland’s rarest habitats is set for recovery thanks to a funding award granted this month to landscape-scale nature restoration partnership, Loch Abar Mòr.

A partnership working to help restore nature and communities across Lochaber has been awarded £249,568 of support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

A series of community and stakeholder discussions on the potential reintroduction of beavers to Lochaber will be held across the region next month by the region’s landscape-scale nature restoration partnership, Loch Abar Mòr.

Tickets are now on sale for The Big Picture Conference 2026, Scotland's flagship event dedicated to rewilding, which returns to Perth Concert Hall on Saturday 19 September.

A new wildflower seed mix designed to ease coexistence between people and beavers has launched in Scotland this month.

A creative collaboration between Lhanbryde primary school pupils and the neighbouring Loch na Bo estate on the Moray coast has added colourful charm to the area’s popular loch and woodland trails.

New research from sites across the Northwoods Rewilding Network shows that rewilding has led to dramatic increases in biodiversity.

A network of farms, crofts and community woodlands committed to rewilding has reached 100 partners across Scotland and a total area of 31,576 acres since its inception in April 2021.

As Scotland accelerates the expansion of beavers under its National Beaver Strategy, land managers in Lochaber are exploring what the possible return of the species might look like, learning first-hand from those already living alongside them.

The hidden lives of beavers and their extraordinary power to transform landscapes will be brought to life in a new art installation at The Barn in Banchory, as part of the northeast of Scotland’s annual Sound Scotland Festival.
