After 400 years, beavers are thriving again in Shrewsbury’s Old River Bed! Conservationists released Bertie and Beryl earlier this year, and now they’ve welcomed their first kit. Locals and visitors have played a huge part by respecting the beavers’ space, showing how community support and careful planning can revive lost wildlife. Beavers aren’t just cute—they’re ecosystem engineers, improving water quality and creating habitats for other species. Seeing them settle in so well is a real win for local biodiversity. What other species would you love to see return to our area? #Pets #Shrewsbury #BeaverReturn
