Elliot NewtonGUEST
I think the first thing to say is that when I was a child, I absolutely loved nature.

I was really on my hands and knees, overturning like bits of wood, looking at the bugs and stuff that are underneath that.

Elliot NewtonGUEST

Kirsty WillmanHOST
um so yeah do you want to start telling everyone a bit about I mean beavers and what they do um I really want you to tell them about the asbo beavers as well when you when you get to that point because I love that so much
British beavers back from extinction to fight floods

The beavers have come in and they've actually put this dam in, and that has now created this beaver pond, which is just holding water here, stopping flood risk from further downstream.

How cool is this, right? McDonald's, retail park, busy road of sirens, and then here we have a family of beavers thriving, and they are doing amazing things.
