Best videos of beavers on the River Otter and at DWT's Enclosed Beaver Project site, along with videos showing the benefits for wildlife and people of the return of the Eurasian beaver to England.

Donations to the Beaver Believers appeal will support DWT's beaver conservation work in the three major Devon rivers where beavers are currently found: the Otter, the Tamar and the Taw. With your support we can ensure more local communities can learn to live alongside beavers again, explaining the benefits beavers bring while finding solutions to any conflicts between beaver and human use of the landscape. Donations will also support introductions of further beavers from Scotland, to boost the genetic diversity of the Devon populations, and efforts to encourage beavers to settle in the streams where their activity will have the greatest benefits to water quality, flood and drought mitigation.
