Forestry England has released a family of beavers into an enclosure in the Wyre Forest.

It comes as part of their commitment to bring the species back to the nation’s forests.

Following successful reintroductions in the Forest of Dean and Yorkshire, Forestry England has teamed up with Natural England and experts at the Beaver Trust, to bring beavers to Wyre Forest.

Two adults and four kits were moved from Scotland into a big, five-hectare enclosure in the heart of the forest. The beavers are being enclosed to encourage them to establish a home in the location selected for them.
