Beaver project for Wales
Today the Welsh Beaver Project published a report entitled An investigation into the feasibility of reintroducing European beaver to Wales based on 5 years of study. The report, which makes the case for a managed pilot introduction, was supported by the Minister for Environment and Sustainable Development, John Griffiths who said in a statement, “…the reintroduction of beavers to Wales could offer a range of prospective benefits for Wales…” . The next stage will be further consultation and an investigation into potential release sites.
