Beaver Release at Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve, Norfolk.

What an amazing film about a wonderful project!

[@mulcogiseng3175]

As I do penance for trapping beaver 60 years ago I am enjoying learning even more about this amazing keystone species. I love binge streaming! lol. Started a few days ago watching a couple of short videos on the reintroduction of beaver to the San Pedro River in Arizona, USA. I live just a few miles away and have gone to the Rio many times to enjoy and shoot music videos with my Native American style wood flutes. Now I am going to look for some dams. Also, even closer, is a Clovis era Mastadon kill site (several in the vicinity) These are 10,000 years old. Here we just release the beaver and let them transform the river valley. They have already migrated into Mexico and over to the Rio Santa Cruz valley area. this is happening all over Mexico, Canada, and the USA. but this project is incredible. I spent the first five minutes cringing at the audacity of two legends trying to change nature. But what a great vision!. I've subscribed and am looking forward to updates.

Beautiful black soil!

[@RussTillling]

I love the digger driver and his doggo! 🤩🤩

[@Mattsheehan-m7x]

What a great undertaking. Fantastic to see the transformation. Thanks for sharing this.

[@chrisflesser2171]

What an amazing project, in sheer size, planning and construction. Fantastic 👏👏

[@robstafford8306]

Brilliant piece of work. That amount of work, time and effort to get to this point is impressive. Late to the party but hope it’s working out ok.

[@Onionbaron]

Heartwarming! ❤

[@greenpaulineuk]

Absolutely magnificent 💚 congratulations to all.

[@RussTillling]

Awesome video, commentary, everything! Just the best documentary ever, and can't thank you enough!🤩🤩🤩

[@yayasgaragecustomdiecast7198]

Well done everybody and cheers from Canada!

[@fredhayward1350]

Lovely video thank you....

[@RussTillling]

I love the doggo, looking after his boss!

[@PatrickGriffin-p8l]

The beaver is the national animal of Canada.

[@Healitnow]

I thought the way Trudeau is robbing the country that we had changed to the culture?

[@terinorton9462]

Wouldn't it be nice if all mankind were like beavers mind her own business do our own things

[@RussTillling]

Great job, well done!

[@peggyireland788]

Any chance you guys might want a few porcupines too?😊

[@greg6681]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@ianclark9598]

There is something perverse about us landscaping a piece of land for beavers, when all the work done is exactly what beavers do. Still, at least there are beavers there now.

[@Rutlandeye]

I take it there are no foxes or badgers within the fence, so all you need is a polecat or two to get rid of the Grey Squirrels, no more songbird eggs for breakfast😀. Bingo no protein hoovers, therefore A bird paradise too.😀

[@mechanics4all405]

any updates planned

[@Jonas-uh7bb]

Update please :)

[@PANTTERA1959]

Could beavers do their job if just reintroduced? Not as much money to make tho by natural healing. That does count.

[@thomasmoore5949]

When we reintroduced Beavers to Scotland they just had to bring the Beavrers to the waterside, and let them go!

[@geoffreylee5199]

Wait until they decide to spread … once their babies are adults, they go looking for their own areas to build dams. They generally go upstream if Canadian beavers. Not sure about the European beavers …

[@ConstantChaos1]

They will be moved to other projects more than likely, reintroductions are ramping up so rn they are being spread about

[@tss9886]

I really don't understand why all this man effort was necessary. I'm Canadian, beavers here, introduced to a water bearing area with poplar trees. They would have quickly done all that work for the humans at no cost at all! Beavers like Poplar thems good eating! OK, not as good as Willow, but they will make do. I do hope they introduced more than one pair of beavers after two years, and the young would be looking for mates. Inbreeding is not good, and their instincts will push them out of the area if there are no other options.

[@FirstLast-rh9jw]

Is this a construction video or a rewilding one? hard to tell. Also the boundaries are so built and un-natural, its little more than a one species zoo...

[@simonpaine2347]

Anyone else here after looking for something good, positive and uplifting happening in the world, after the potentially disastrous US election results?

[@mairnealachamu]

Incredible achievement, but a lot of expense and work. Beavers are called "Landscape Engineers", why engineer the landscape for them? Let them do it themselves, no?

[@geoffreylee5199]

V shaped grills work best to stop them from damming culverts.

[@andrewchilvers4304]

What a waste of money. Every where else they put them where they are needed this is one man's personal zoo

[@andrewchilvers4304]

Just watched a US project, the rancher uses modern grazing management for his cattle, you can see the difference compared to his neighbours who don't and wanted to rewild a massive creek. He tried beavers himself but then with professional help he was successful at a cost of £2500. He was as a younger man anti beaver, but his new thinking encouraged his granddaughter to study environment at Uni and later become part of the project which revitalised a huge area and also improved the land for his cattle ranch.

[@katjordan3733]

Yes, I noticed this is more an exhibit than a real wetland. Kinda creepy, isn't? Wonder how long before the beavers changed everything?

[@joannemullennix2021]

It was perfect before man did anything…then fences? All for 2 beavers? What can be said…

[@RussTillling]

Perfect? A monoculture of poplars? Are you one of those people who has a monoculture, ryegrass lawn and thinks that it is 'perfect'?
