The Forest Waters project aims to improve the hydrological and ecological function of catchments within the Forest of Dean using natural processes. This includes the recent release of a pair of beavers into an enclosure on the Blackpool Brook catchment. Over the coming years the beavers are expected to create a unique range of habitats through their tree felling and damming work. They will create pools, wetlands, submerged and standing deadwood and beaver meadows, each supporting a wider range of plant and animal species. Beavers are known as ‘ecosystem engineers’ because of their significant impact on habitats.
