- On 9th April 2024, a family of six beavers were released into an enclosure in Wyre Forest, Worcestershire.
We have been working across the country to bring the species back to the nation's forests, and following successful reintroductions in the Forest of Dean and Yorkshire, we teamed up with Natural England and experts at the Beaver Trust to bring beavers to Wyre Forest National Nature Reserve.

Awesome job. We need more people working in the natural surroundings all over the UK indeed the world. It is an employment opportunity Governments are missing out on. I feel these projects suffer lack of funding because they do cost a lot of money and unfortunately the people who run our lives are only interested in short term gains to boost popularity and not long term benefits. The long term benefits of rewilding and habitat management are absolutely enormous and have very far reaching consequences. If done properly everyone wins. I wish your project all the very best and hope you get funding for more and more of these projects in the future.

I love the work you are doing restoring one of the most important keystone species. It gives me hope seeing natures architects return to the land. I’m so excited to see the effects on other species as well as the water table in the coming years!
Awesome project and YT production! I hope it exceeds expectations! 🤩🤩🤩
I LIVE SO CLOSE TO HERE had no idea they had just been released this is fantastic. I'll definitely be going looking for felled trees and dams soon :)
Rewilding is one of the most important opportunities here in the uk. Not only are we returning swathes of the countryside back to its original habitats but also it’s a huge boost to jobs. Scotland reported a 400% increase in jobs because of Rewilding. It’ll become a booming sector creating hundreds if not thousands of new jobs while also restoring vast areas of habitats from forests to wetlands. More investment needs to be done to allow this while making sure protection of the environment is a high priority.
Well done. Also. For pastural land the key is to rein in the use of ruminant animal drench's to encourage natural population levels of dung beetles , both to soften the soil to depth, and to increase the soils organic matter level so much more effectively than a worm alone approach. For every 1% of soil organic matter increase the land will hold back 25mm more water from runoff. Beavers can catch water from that point, but keeping it out of the streams in the 1st place for slow subsoil release is part of a catchment systems approach. Do not underestimate the catchment water load, and fluvial pressure applied by pharmaceutical approach's to parasite control on stock, and the absence of stock in the 1st place destroying the soil sponge. Yes and avoiding unsustainably high stocking rates as too much of a good thing.
Hope they get well established and their ponds benefit the landscape and other wildlife.
This is amazing!
What makes you think you can fence a beaver in?
Not released into the wyre forest then.
fencing will stop the beavers spreading but that will cause over crowding, what then.
My hope and aspiration is that some of the kits will escape!! It's insane treating them as though they are a threat. They belong in Britain. So much fuss and bureaucracy over something that should be quite straightforward. I'm a great believer in soft release, but after that, open the fence and let them do their own thing. They will make their own - correct - decisions on where the best places are for building dams. Honestly, it's probably easier to import lions to a safari park than it is to release beaver BACK into the wild!!
