What makes the Heligan beaver reintroduction special?
- Heligan is one of the first reintroduction projects in England that has deliberately incorporated farmland. There is very little data yet on how farmland may be impacted (and consequently, how outraged traditional farmers will be).
- We will collect information on how the beavers graze on the pasture and interact with the landscape.
- This information could help inform decisions as to whether unlicenced, free release of beavers becomes legal in the future.
