Beaver Resources
As more conversations are had around beaver reintroduction, the need for guidance and evidence becomes important. Especially, we recognise the need for context and answers that are tailored to the layout and role of our waterways here in East Anglia.
Here you will find a collection of guides, leaflets and reports that are general and some more tailored to our local area.
Beaver Trust
The Beaver Trust is a nature restoration charity providing practical solutions to help people live alongside beavers and support legislation that rebuilds ecosystems and strengthens climate resilience in a time of ecological and climate crisis.
Beaver Management
The Beaver Management website is an official source of information for communities and businesses living along beaver populations. The site is managed by the national Beaver Management Group.
Beaver Consideration Assessment Tool (BCAT)
BCAT is a national mapping guide to explore potential considerations for beaver presence and activity, supporting but not replacing expert judgement or decision-making.
