Flying up through the National Trust Holnicote Stage 0 river restoration site last week. Fantastic to see how much water is being held in the reconnected floodplain despite the recent drought conditions!

A landmark moment for beavers in England! 🚨
To unlock their benefits, we now need widespread population expansion - it’s time to normalise this native species.
We’re reviewing today’s announcement against key tests we set out in our initial response earlier today 👇

The 3rd and final #beaver site surveyed in the River Otter catchment this week. Upstream of the village of East Budleigh, our monitoring has shown this wetland to significantly reduce downstream peak flows. @exeter.ac.uk

The 2nd #beaver site I surveyed with Devon Wildlife Trust yesterday. Here the landowner has been supported by a Farming in Protected Landscapes grant to make space for beavers and this extraordinary wetland. @exeter.ac.uk
