A big year for beavers 🦫 From supporting the first wild beaver release in England to expanding our education programme. These steps bring us closer to restoring Britain's beaver population. Thank you to all our supporters, we couldn’t do this without you

We’re encouraging parliamentarians to raise the profile of beavers and support the policies needed for people and wildlife to thrive alongside them. Restoring missing species means rebuilding the natural processes that sustain healthy, resilient landscapes. 🌿

From a roadside rescue to release 🦫 Since 2023, we have carried out 19 translocations onto @ForestyLS land, and release sites are always carefully selected to offer good habitat for the beavers and the lowest potential for conflict. @fivesisterszoo @NatureScot 1/3

As Britain’s beaver population grows, we anticipate that more beavers may require rescue, rehabilitation and re-release support. That’s why we're developing clear guidance and protocols covering the rescue, temporary holding, rehabilitation and re-release of beavers. 2/3

This will help ensure that the welfare and needs of the species are properly met at every stage, while giving individual animals the best possible chance of successfully returning to the wild and surviving after release. 3/3

How do you finance England’s river corridors? 💧 That’s what we were asking sector leaders during the Making Space for Water panel at the Labour Party Conference 2026. 1/5
Financing England’s River Corridors: Labour Party Conference 2026 Panel discussion Niki Roach -Planet Possible Podcast: “We’ll be exploring the idea of river corridors, in England and financing those corridors” Jenny Riddell-Carpenter MP -Defra Minister for Nature and Rural Affairs: “I visited one […] catchment where 41 farmers and landowners are working together to improve nature, [...] biodiversity and waterways. Taking a wider catchment view is absolutely what we need.”

Making Space for Water is a campaign created by the Riverscapes Partnership, which is a collaboration between Beaver Trust, Rivers Trust, Woodland Trust and @nationaltrust and support from the @WildlifeTrusts and @The_RRC 4/5
Key takeaways The panel had an interesting and important discussion about how we deliver a network of river corridors across England. There was strong consensus that restoration of our river corridors would provide benefits for nature, climate resilience and local communities. Each panellist outlined the barriers impacting progress on river restoration for their sector, highlighting a mix of both financial and regulatory issues. The importance of partnership working across sectors, and blending of public and private finance was made clear. We were delighted that, during the panel, the Minister committed to meet with the Riverscapes Partnership to discuss our campaign asks in more detail, and we look forward to meeting her.

We were pleased to hear Secretary of State Angela Eagle's announcement on the last day of the conference that new funding will be made available to help local communities create climate-resilient landscapes and drive nature's recovery. £26m investment in Local Nature Recovery Strategies will help Mayors and local authorities to restore natural landscapes such as wetlands, and increase restored river corridors. This will help tackle some of our greatest threats such as flooding, drought, and water pollution, whilst also providing an exciting opportunity to support Defra’s ambitions to return beavers to the wild in England by making space along river edges to accommodate beavers and the habitats they create. We hope this funding will translate into practical delivery on the ground, building momentum towards a joined-up approach that can ultimately be rolled out at landscape scale.
