Devon Wildlife Trust is delighted to announce the birth of kits born to the first wild colony of beavers in England.
New film footage proves that England’s only wild beaver population is growing. The footage, taken by local film-maker Tom Buckley, shows baby beavers – known as kits – taking their first swimming lessons and being helped through the water by their mother at an undisclosed location on East Devon’s River Otter. The births signal the latest chapter in a story which has attracted great support from the local community.
Devon Wildlife Trust’s Steve Hussey said: “To see wild beavers swimming in an English river for the first time in hundreds of years is both amazing and exciting; my top wildlife experience in 12 years at the charity!”
Brightsea are very proud of the Devon Wildlife Trust and all the great work they do for nature. We regulary print the Wild Devon publication and various other print and design work that is required.
