Submission Details

Description

The requirement of this project is to undertake trapping, health screening and sample collection from wild living beavers on the River Avon including the River Frome, By Brook and other tributaries, on behalf of Natural England (NE). The objectives are to understand the health and status of the wild living population of beavers on the River Avon in the context of the uncertain origin of these animals to promote our knowledge of beaver health and genetic status. This will inform work on beaver reintroduction in England to ensure we have viable and healthy populations of beavers which will thrive.
