Cheshire Wildlife Trust needs your support.
They are hoping to release a pair of Beavers into Cheshire, right here on The Ridge.
The project which has been three years in the making, will represent the 10th re-introduction of Beavers into England, but needs some help with funding for the enclosure fencing.
The Hatchmere site in Delamere Forest, seeks to create a 10 acre fenced beaver zone, through which runs the Hatchmere Brook. The objective is that the beaver colony will then filter the water which runs into the 'Hatch Mere' itself; a site of special scientific interest.
Beavers are a keystone species.
Take a look at the clip (below) with Kev Feeney, the Living Landscapes Manager and Site Reserve Manager at Hatchmere.
Time is tight to ensure that this is completed before the winter.
