People are being asked for their views on the reintroduction of wild beavers in Gloucestershire as a population has been spotted close to the county’s borders.

Currently, there are three enclosed beaver colonies in Gloucestershire and no beavers living in the wild.

Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust (GWT) said there is a “real possibility” wild beavers could establish in the area as they have been seen close by, including on the River Avon.

    Absolutely. The thought of seeing a beaver in the wild makes me very excited.

      Sound’s like somebody’s got a case of beaver fever.
