Hear our Restoration Manager, Rob, describe one of the most significant things he witnessed while conducting his PhD research into the interactions between beavers and brown trout.
By slowing the flow of water and creating deeper, cooler, complex wetland habitats, beaver dams can provide vital refuge for salmonids during drought. These wetlands also store water within the landscape, helping to support healthier rivers and more resilient catchments for wildlife and people.
This clip is taken from Balancing the Scales narrated by Dame Joanna Lumley. Watch the full documentary on our channel to discover what Rob’s research found and explore the complex relationship between beavers and migratory fish.
