We were delighted to welcome Tony Juniper and Marian Spain to WWT Slimbridge today. They visited the world's first captive breeding flock of black-tailed godwits, hatched as part of our Natural England funded Godwit Futures Project.🐣

🦫 Together with Beaver Trust, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Welsh Beaver Project we have supported the translocation of Bryti the beaver to Heligan in Cornwall! A bit like #MarriedAtFirstSight, it is hoped that Byrti will pair up with the remaining female beaver 💕 #beavers beavertrust.org/byrti-the-beav…

#Pine marten are back in #Dartmoor for the first time in 150 years! We have worked closely with the Devon Wildlife Trust Two Moors Pine Marten project on licensing and feasibility of these elusive, forest dwelling creatures. We hope they enjoy their new home on Dartmoor!!

I joined a panel at #COP16 to ponder how best to foster innovation to recover Nature. I shared experiences from Natural England about how governments can act via laws & standards to foster Nature positive business activity. Plenty of examples of how this can work, & more needed.

What a pleasure to visit Spains Hall Estate in Essex with Natural England & Beaver Trust colleagues to see how new farming ideas are going hand-in-hand with Nature recovery, including the use of Beavers to boost fish & other wildlife while cutting flood risk in the downstream village.

Excellent podcast discussing beavers and farming.

Of 57 mega herbivores (over 1000kg) that existed 50,000 years ago, 11 are with us now (elephants, rhinos etc). A reminder that human driven extinction has been going on for a long time, causing profound ecosystem change in the process.

Delighted to kick off 2025 with the announcement of of Balancing The Scales - our brand new documentary looking at the balance of beaver restoration & migratory fish conservation in Britain. Join us at one of five in person screening events - link to book your free place below👇

You may have spotted our Director, Shaun Leonard, in the new Beaver Trust documentary 'Balancing the Scales'! This beautiful film makes great points about our rivers, but we have a slightly different take on this complex issue. Learn more in our review: wildtrout.org/wttblog/film-r…

An historic moment for Nature recovery in England with a new policy setting out plans for the return of wild Beavers. Licenses will be issued by Natural England so that we can harness the power of these keystone animals for the many benefits they bring. naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2025/02/28/bea…

A memorable trip today in search of Britain’s scarcest amphibian - the Northern Pool Frog. It went extinct here during the 1990s, but a brilliant partnership effort is aiding its recovery, with frogs now once again breeding in the wild. Thank you Norfolk Wildlife Trust for hosting the visit

On Monday, we headed to Westminster to call on the government to make #SpaceForWater 💧 Alongside our partners The Rivers Trust, The Woodland Trust and National Trust, we’re urging Westminster to support farmers and landowners to restore nature-rich river corridors in England.
