European beavers are now returning to the wilds of britain at last,
Soon to be with otters and swans in the rivers and lakes in britain.
Next will be cranes.
John, we have reintroduced our beavers after WW II and now they are all over the country – ca. 20,000 with 50% of the population in the NE Poland of course
Good luck!
They are great animals.
