<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>Hi everyone, in a couple of weeks i'm going to cut off my beloved dreadlocks after 5 years of cultivation and dedication. I'm doing this as I really want to raise some money to support the work of the Scottish Wildlife Trust. The SWT do some amazing work for the conservation of species and habitat and I have been particularly inspired by the beaver trial. Please donate what you can and visit <a href="http://www.swt.org.uk/">http://www.swt.org.uk/</a> for more details of the trust's excellent work.</p>
<p>I'll post pictures on facebook showing my sorry looking pinhead and receeding hairline when the deed is done. </p>
<p><span style="color: #494949; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Beavers are a native species which have been missing from the UK since the 16th Century, when man hunted them to extinction. Beavers are a missing element of our native biodiversity and they are a species worth having in any ecosystem. Known as a ‘keystone’ species, the presence of beaver should bring a vast number of benefits to other native Scottish wildlife as well as wetland and waterside habitats. By modifying their habitats through coppicing, feeding and, in some cases, damming, beavers create ponds and wetlands which attract other species, provide a food source to others, and can even help improve water quality.</span></p>
