Flying up through the National Trust Holnicote Stage 0 river restoration site last week. Fantastic to see how much water is being held in the reconnected floodplain despite the recent drought conditions!

#beaver watching on the River Otter last night with colleagues from @uoe-creww.bsky.social will never get bored of either seeing the beavers or peoples reaction to spotting them for the first time!

The 3rd and final #beaver site surveyed in the River Otter catchment this week. Upstream of the village of East Budleigh, our monitoring has shown this wetland to significantly reduce downstream peak flows. @exeter.ac.uk

The 2nd #beaver site I surveyed with Devon Wildlife Trust yesterday. Here the landowner has been supported by a Farming in Protected Landscapes grant to make space for beavers and this extraordinary wetland. @exeter.ac.uk

Drone surveys of Stokeinteignhead a Natural Flood Managment site we're monitoring as part of Devon Resilience Innovation Project. Can nature-based approaches provide effective flood resilience to comunities in rapid response catchments? Monitoring and modelling results to follow! @exeter.ac.uk

Drone surveys from #beaver wetlands in England. At both sites beavers have created wetland habitat and reduced stormflow. However, one site is in the middle of a city and the other a forest, illustrating the breadth of landscapes where we can seek to implement nature-recovery and provide #NbS.

Great to see the beavers settling into the Plymouth site. Really like the education and engagement opportunities the urban location offers
