Beaver Trust

Who we are

Beaver Trust is a small and agile nature restoration organisation with a mission to restore beavers to regenerate our landscapes. Restoring beavers to their former range across Britain will help us build climate resilient landscapes and restore freshwater habitats in the face of the climate and biodiversity crises.

Beaver Trust has three strategic goals and everything that we do supports one or more of these goals.

Strategic Goal 1: Restore

We facilitate the restoration of beavers throughout Britain, prioritising catchments that maximise biodiversity and ecosystem benefits, connect and augment existing populations, promote holistic catchment land use practices whilst ensuring long-term coexistence.

Strategic Goal 2: Communicate and Educate

We mobilise widespread public understanding to inform and encourage acceptance of the changes beavers bring and prepare people to live alongside them.

Strategic Goal 3: Influence

We work with governmental bodies and stakeholders to develop national strategies and policies that enable the restoration and normalisation of beavers and wetlands with pragmatic management and mitigation.
