Rewilding beavers on the loose in Dorset
Two beavers are on the run after escaping from an enclosure on a rewilding project.
The estate said recent storms had damaged fencing around their enclosure and the creatures had disappeared. About 450 acres of unproductive farmland at Mapperton Estate, near Beaminster, are being rewilded to create space for wildlife and to trap carbon.The project was prompted by waning agricultural revenues, repair bills and the pandemic, which prompted owners, Luke and Julie Montagu, Viscount and Viscountess Hinchingbrooke, to seek new income streams.
