Derbyshire Wildlife Trust

We want a #WilderFuture and a #WilderDerbyshire - campaign with us and let’s reverse nature’s decline.

What’s next?
We are in the early stages of our Derbyshire Beaver Feasibility Assessment Initiative, engaging and listening to local agencies, organisations and community representatives to understand the practicalities of wild beavers in Derbyshire’s landscape.

The UK Government has approved licensed beaver reintroductions! These amazing ecosystem engineers will return to our rivers, restoring wetlands, boosting wildlife and reducing flooding. 🌿

A huge win for nature! 🌊🦫 Read more: https://t.co/K9MrGVUd9K

Why does this matter?
🦫 They were once hunted to extinction—now there is a chance to have wild beavers back in Derbyshire!
💧 They have immense potential to reduce flooding, improve water quality & store carbon
🌱 Their wetlands support birds, fish & amphibians

A full 🌕 gift? 🤔
First time visiting this park in the city, and, I can't believe I spotted a kingfisher, let alone have one land so close. Just WowWowWow! 🫣🤗
It wasn’t what I expected, but it’s a moment I won’t ever forget. 🙏
