Beaver Trust

We are a registered charity working to restore beavers to regenerate our landscapes.

A big year for beavers 🦫

From supporting the first wild beaver release in England to expanding our education programme.

These steps bring us closer to restoring Britain's beaver population.

Thank you to all our supporters, we couldn’t do this without you

The evidence confirms that beaver restoration in England, Scotland and Wales is the return of a native species to its natural range, not the introduction of a new one.

Beavers belong here.

International and national guidance says species reintroductions should take place within a species’ historic or ‘natural range’, supported by written records, oral tradition and physical evidence.
What does the evidence tell us about beavers in Britain?

By contrast, there is no confirmed historical evidence of beavers in Ireland, probably because the island became separated from Britain before beavers could reach it during post-glacial recolonisation.

It’s so rewarding to see kits at Glen Affric, a sign of a healthy population. 🦫

Like all reintroductions, this release took careful planning. Well-managed translocations like this support the restoration of beavers, in line with Scotland’s National Beaver Strategy.

The first #babybeavers born in #GlenAffric in 400 years! 🦫 A wonderful milestone for our reintroduction project with @ForestryLS and @BeaverTrust
