Beavers in Britain: Now and in the Future

Beavers in Britain: Now and in the Future
Natural History Live by Chris Jones

Beavers once roamed across our countryside, shaping the landscape and waterways, providing habitat for a huge abundance of fish, birds and insects, but have since been hunted almost to extinction. In this talk, you will learn about their history, what’s being done now to provide suitable habitats to facilitate beaver reintroduction, and what the future looks like for beavers in the UK.

The Beaver Trust and Cornwall Beaver Project help people to relearn how to live alongside beavers and wetlands through talking to communities, setting up networks, and supporting projects across the country with their team of beaver experts.

Chris Jones is an organic livestock farmer who is passionate about sustainability and climate change adaptation. He instigated the Cornwall Beaver Project in 2014 following flooding in Ladock, Cornwall in 2012 and 2013. Chris was a founder of the Beaver Trust and is currently Director of Communities and Land for the Trust.
