There are wild beavers within 15 minutes of my house.... they are active at Sculthorpe Nature Reserve in Norfolk.
As #COP29 draws to a close in Baku, perhaps it is a good moment to be reminded that despite the complex global politics, there are practical things we can do on the ground here in England. & in acting to build resilience to climate change impacts, we can restore Nature too. pic.twitter.com/YdzbeFyvPC

These local initiatives are part of the Beavers and Biodiversity Gain Project.
In September 2019, after a successful application to the Green Recovery Challenge Fund, the Trust secured a grant.
The project was in two stages, based at the Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve – Norfolk.
- Creation and reintroduction of Beaver area.
- The diversion of flood water from the Wensum to Hempton Moor, south of the Reserve, and enhancing its wetland habitat (reedbed & ponds).
