Consultation on approach to beaver reintroduction and management in England

9 September 2021

Defra are seeking views on a proposed approach to further reintroductions of beavers in England and the management of the species in the wild.

The consultation sets out the proposed approach, including in relation to future releases into the wild, current and future releases into enclosures and existing wild-living beavers. Defra also want to know what management and support you think should be available to those managing beavers.

The consultation will close on 17 November. The consultation relates to beavers in England only.

Confor will be represented on the England Beaver Strategy Working Group and will also be attending the consultation workshops and submitting a response. 

If you have any comments you wish to be included in the response please email caroline@confor.org.uk.
