A family of beavers is said to be “very happy” a year after being released into a woodland enclosure as part of a conservation programme.

Two adults and four kits were moved into a five-hectare space in Worcestershire’s Wyre Forest in April 2024 under efforts to reintroduce the species to the wild.

Forestry England said the animals had since been hard at work making a home for themselves - and had significantly transformed the area.
