Derbyshire Wildlife Trust have now received their beaver license from Natural England and is one step closer to bringing beavers back to Derbyshire

The Wildlife Trusts bring beavers back to five more counties this year – 20 years after they reintroduced the first beavers to Britain

Derbyshire Wildlife Trust’s plans to bring beavers back to the Trent Valley have moved a step closer thanks to a £75,000 grant from Biffa Award and a £65,000 contribution from Severn Trent.

Our plans to bring beavers back to Derbyshire are well underway but their future is still not secure.

Derbyshire Wildlife Trust’s initial target of £35,000 to bring beavers back to Derbyshire has been met within weeks of the campaign going live!

Derbyshire Wildlife Trust has revealed ambitious plans to create a home ready for a family of beavers to move in hopefully by the end of the year.
