Bamff Beavers

We have just returned from a wild weekend at the Bamff beaver project in Perthshire.

Over three days at Bamff we learned about the beavers and their landscape, and participated in a set of creative experiments in landscaping…See More

On previous trips we had scoped out, explored and experimented with this complicated site; learning to read, interpret and work with the wild processes and inhabitants of the Wildland Project (Overend and Lorimer 2018). This time, we planned to make something: to create a text that…
