The Bring Beavers Back appeal seeks to reintroduce free-living beavers to the Dorset landscape for the first time in centuries. Supported by the Dorset Wildlife Trust, the initiative aims to fund a licensed release project to establish beaver populations, building on past successes where beavers transformed a narrow stream into a vibrant wetland. Research indicates these “ecosystem engineers” enhance habitats for various wildlife and mitigate drought and flooding. During Big Give Week, donations will be matched, increasing their impact and facilitating a larger-scale release aimed at creating a diverse and viable beaver population in Dorset.
