Beavers
Beavers are back!
Beavers are amazing, capable of transforming our rivers and wetlands for the better. Devon Wildlife Trust has led beaver conservation projects in Devon for more than a decade. Our work on the River Otter Beaver Trial (England's first wild beaver re-introduction project), and the work of The Wildlife Trusts elsewhere, has shown that these natural engineers can provide an impressive range of services from storing climate-changing carbon to flood alleviation. We believe it’s a top priority for nature’s recovery to see their return to rivers across the UK.
