Video: Beaver trail camera update April 2025

Beaver Update, April 2025:

The beavers have started to move on from the smaller willow and onto larger stems, showing increased signs of activity around the enclosure, especially in the south-eastern inlet. We've seen larger willow felled into the water, with upper limbs being removed and bark stripped. This submerged deadwood provides excellent habitat for aquatic inverts, as well as opening marginal areas to more light, which will benefit a multitude of species and provide structure to areas of wet woodland. On the Eastern side of the enclosure there have been more in-person sightings, where they have been seen out in the water ferrying material across the site.

A huge thanks to Graf UK for sponsoring the trail cameras so that we are able to monitor the beavers.
