Natural Flood Control: The Beaver and Us

Culture Perth & Kinross -

In conjunction with the Waters Rising exhibition at Perth Museum, Scottish Beavers are coming to the AK Bell Library to talk about beavers, their contribution to flood mitigation and how we can learn to work together.   

 We have invited Scottish Beavers to explain how these fascinating creatures build their lodges and dykes. Learn how one of our most elusive animals in Scotland, the beaver, can help with natural flood mitigation if only he was left to do so.

The talk will be accompanied by a walk to the North Inch where we will look for traces of Beaver and learn how to discover beaver activities on our local rivers. 

Please ensure you wear appropriate footwear and clothing for our lovely Scottish weather! This is an outdoor event and will include steps and uneven surfaces. Please bring a packed lunch.

This event has been generously supported by the Eric King Chiu Lo Legacy.
