Celebrating Connections: Stories from the Benmore-Coiac Reserve

Ed and Rachel head to the woods as we hear from some of the people involved in the Riverwoods project. We take a look back at the Scottish Beaver Trial and some of the impacts it continues to have on conservation today. We then head back north to hear some of the stories of Ben Mor Coigach. Kenny Taylor explores some of the stories of the area and how local people are connected to the land.

A huge thanks to Ben from the Tweed Forum and Roisin from Beaver Trust for their involvement.
