Upfront planning and coordination can ensure that benefits from tourism and environmental services can be maximised to the benefit of local landholders and communities.

• Chambers of commerce and trade associations can help ensure availability of adequate accommodation, retail and restaurant capacity.

• Quality accreditation of services, together with training and marketing support can further enhance this process, and maximize local "multiplier" effects from visitor centres.

• Clear evidence of environmental services provided by beaver could be useful to landholder eligibility for payments of future agri-evironmental subsidies or their equivalents - or even via possible private sector sponsorship.
