Happy #InternationalBeaverDay. Beaver Trust is a registered charity dedicated to restoring beavers to regenerate our landscapes. Our vision is of thriving waterways vibrant with life, where beavers are embraced as a vital part of our biodiverse landscape.

Field Officer 1: Fixed-term, 1-year contract with the possibility of extension. Field Officer 2: Temporary role covering maternity leave (not extendable). Both are full-time and offer a unique chance to put your skills into action for nature’s recovery.

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

We’re looking for 2 Field Officers based in Perthshire to help deliver beaver conservation on the ground - from animal handling and translocations to data collection and monitoring. 📅 Applications close at 9am, Monday 22 Sept 2025.👉

Want to see it in action? Balancing the Scales private screenings are happening across Britain in small groups and local cinemas! 🎬. Host one or find a screening near you: info@beavertrust.org. Directed by Nina Constable Media, funded by The European Nature Trust.

Can beavers help reverse the catastrophic decline of Atlantic salmon, or do their dams hinder fish passage?.Our Restoration Manager, Dr Rob Needham, explores this on the Tommy's Outdoors podcast. 🎧 Listen now:

A big thanks again to @ssencommunity for giving us the opportunity to work with them. Find out more about the training and services our restoration team provides to help people live alongside beavers again👇.

Partnerships like this are key to providing practical knowledge that allows them to respond appropriately on site. Sharing this knowledge ultimately helps normalise the presence of beavers in the British landscape and fosters coexistence.

Recognising the challenge, our team was recently invited by @ssencommunity to work with its tree-cutting teams to help them better understand beaver browsing, how they can protect trees near their network from foraging, and their own responsibilities regarding beavers' wellbeing.

Beaver Browsing Near Infrastructure. Beavers fell trees for food and construction, creating habitats that benefit a wide range of wildlife. However, tree felling can also be undesirable and hazardous, particularly near infrastructure such as overhead electricity lines.

This is a full-time, fixed-term, home-based role with regular travel within Britain, including overnight stays. Apply now through the link below and help shape the future of wildlife education 👇.

Join our team as an Education Officer! . We’re on the lookout for a passionate individual to extend our educational work, already underway, into communities in Scotland and northern England. Your mission will be to inspire young minds & strengthen their connection with nature.

The ‘Beavers across Britain’ conference, organised by Beaver Trust, is supported by the @cairngormsnews and @ForestryEngland.

We’re bringing together the people driving beaver restoration across Britain to tackle key challenges, share best practices and spark new collaborations. 📅 Put the dates in your diary and email conference2026@beavertrust.org to be the first to hear when tickets go live.

We’re excited to announce the ‘Beavers across Britain - science, practice and policy’ conference on 20–21 May 2026!. From inspirational keynote speakers to breakout sessions on:.🔹 Best management practices.🔹 Community engagement.🔹 Ecology, policy & practical insights

Alongside @theriverstrust , @nationaltrust and The Woodland Trust, we’re calling for simple, impactful funding opportunities so people can create space for water on their land. Add your name to the petition for a funding system that works on the ground👇.

“This campaign speaks to something deeply important: how we care for our rivers and how we care for our land for the long term, ” Emma Hardy, Minister for Water and Flooding.

Find out more about our team’s ongoing work to make this happen👇.

If we want to fully realise the biodiversity benefits and climate resilience beavers can bring, we must continue to actively expand the species into new areas. Creating a network of connected populations that can thrive, adapt, and contribute to their long-term recovery.

However, natural expansion alone is not enough to ensure healthy, connected populations across Britain. Physical barriers such as hydroelectric dams can block movement, and the small, isolated nature of many British populations limits genetic exchange and resilience.

Each new generation underpins the species’ remarkable recovery from near extinction and is vital for its long-term health and survival. As these kits mature and disperse to new territories they will help maintain genetic diversity and expand their range.
