In a remarkable milestone, Enfield’s beaver reintroduction initiative has achieved another historic moment this summer. A delightful baby beaver, the first of its kind in London for centuries, was recently spotted. Enfield Council, in collaboration with Capel Manor College and the Beaver Trust, introduced beavers to the capital in 2022 as part of a rewilding and flood management project.
The adorable kit was captured on camera near Forty Hall, and its thriving presence is a testament to the project’s success. This heartwarming news reflects the positive impact of these industrious creatures on the environment and flood defense efforts in the region.
