Government catches up with the Morning Star
The Tories have proposed reintroducing wild beavers to English rivers. About time, says PETER FROST
IN July 2015 — over six years ago — in these pages I wrote: “Now is the time to encourage the reintroduction of beavers to suitable sites in both England and Wales.”
At that time I was writing about the potential of using beavers to calm and slow some British rivers to prevent flooding and flood damage.
On Wednesday this week the government caught up with the Morning Star and announced proposals for beaver reintroduction but first it is opening up a 12-week consultation on the subject.
