We have been closely monitoring the pair since their release and it has been clear that they have formed a strong bond in the time they have been on site, and this latest discovery is further evidence of this.The trail cams have only identified one kit so far, but beavers can typically have one to four kits in a litter, and we are discreetly observing their activity to see if any others have been born. Seeing the first kit is an incredibly exciting moment for the project and breeding is a clear indication of normal behaviour and that the adult pair are healthy and happily settled in their Dorset surroundings. This local project is an enormous step forward on the journey to restore beavers to Dorset, helping us to raise awareness and understanding of what it means to have these influential mammals back in our county. |
As you may be aware, the Dorset Beaver project is a long-term scientific study and we would like to monitor and assess the impact this beaver family has on its natural environment for at least five years – if you would like to support the Beaver Project, please donate to the Beaver Appeal to help us fund this important work. |
This also follows on from the first kit to be born in Norfolk in 600 years.
