Cute little critters....


We are currently gathering support for our idea to provide extra manpower in the western catchments area and that seems to be going well, and we are currently also trying to identify suitable funders. Protecting water voles and other riparian wildlife by eradicating mink would be an important part of that. The water vole distribution was one of the important outputs of our TWCP survey work.
This photo has been submitted by Katy Freeman, habitat Manager for FCS at Cowal & Trossachs Forest district in Aberfoyle. Katy recently captured some young water voles from within our area to help develop their water vole re-introduction programme within the LLTNPA area. Hopefully some more photos from that in due course....
