"Leave it to Beavers" was one of the most wonderful documentaries I've ever seen. I had no idea how beneficial these little creatures are!

This is so cool.....

Environment minister Rebecca Pow visited one of the stretches of river where the beavers are active. She said that the project, was so important because it is informing how we think in the future.
She described beavers as a natural management tool, and said that having them on land could be seen as providing a public benefit for which farmers and landowners could get paid, under the new subsidy system once the UK leaves the EU.
She said: In our new system of environmental land management, those with land will be paid for delivering services, such as flood management and increased biodiversity.
Using beavers in a wider catchment sense, farmers could be paid to have them on their land.
