The splash of tiny paws in Bodmin

For the first time in centuries a pair of baby beavers has been born in the wild in Cornwall.

The kits are the offspring of beavers that appeared at Helman Tor near Bodmin in what was dubbed as a “beaver bombing", an illegal release which took place in early 2024.

Laura Snell from Cornwall Wildlife Trust has been telling Julie Skentelbery about the exciting moment.
