Beavers, birds and beef – when farming meets conservation

Available for over a year

What do beavers and red kites bring to a working farm in central Scotland? On the Argaty estate, beavers which could have faced a death sentence because they were causing flooding have been given safe refuge. Red kites reintroduced a quarter of a century ago have also made it their home, and both have become an attraction for visitors. We find out how this all started, and how it works alongside an agricultural operation with 800 ewes and 80-odd cattle. Produced and presented by Richard Baynes
