Home / Episode 30: The Beavers Revisited
It’s episode 30 so it’s time for a beaver project update! We’re joined again by national beaver specialist, and all-round good egg, Mark Elliott.
We talk about the progress of the Knepp beaver enclosure and its hard-working inhabitants, and what they’ve been up to since our last beaver podcast back in November 2022. Following a very wet winter and spring the robust beaver dams are holding up well and are helping to store a huge amount of water, slowing the flow in heavy rainfall events.
We explore what’s happening nationally and what big decisions need to be made as enclosed beaver families across the country are expanding.
For more information about beavers check out the Beaver Trust website. Did you know they have a fantastic podcast too? Listen here.
Knepp Wildland Safaris, our gardens and campsite are all about the quiet and patient observation of nature.
Some of the species we are likely to encounter are shy or can be frightened by loud noises or sudden movements. Our campsite with open-air fire-pits, wood-burning stoves and an on-site pond is unsuitable for small children.
For this reason, our safaris, garden visits, holiday cottages and campsite are suitable only for children of 12 and over.
