I have watched numerous videos on beaver being released in the UK, it seems they all are being released into enclosures. Are there any plans to actually release them into areas without enclosures? I am rather confused as to the logic of making basically huge beaver pens.
At the moment, legal releases have to be in enclosures. When a change in government policy arrives allowing wild release, each enclosure project will have to be reassessed before the fencing can be removed to understand what the beavers impacts could be on the wider river basin. There are already (illegally released) wild beavers in Scotland and in south west England
Amazing work. Well done everyone!
