WILDLIFE MATTERS ……... to all of usThe Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust are working towards a wilder Island. This includesspecies reintroductions and rewilding the land while continuing to engage with residents aboutnature. One species that the Trust are investigating for reintroduction is the Beaver. Beavers werenative to mainland Britain but were hunted to extinction in the 16th century for their pelts, meatand scent glands. They are ecosystem engineers, their ability to restore and maintain importantwetland habitats is important to other wildlife.Eurasian Beaver (Castor fiber)In 2001, a group of up to 200 wild beavers werediscovered on the River Tay, Scotland’s longest river.The Scottish Beaver trial was established in 2009 and awild beaver family was monitored for five years.Following the results, the beavers were proclaimed anative species by the Scottish government and offeredthem a European Protected Species status.In 2013 three wild beavers were spotted on the River Otter in Devon, however because of theirlengthy absence they were not considered a native species in England, so the governmentplanned to capture them and place them in a zoo or wildlife park. This was met with passionateresistance from residents and campaign groups made the Government reconsider. In January2015 Natural England announced that if the Beavers were of Eurasian descent and disease free,(which they were) they could stay.Since then, there have been many research projects with controlled releases throughout England,Scotland and Wales to establish how they will impact the environment. Some examples of thesereleases are: During the summer of 2017 some were released into fenced areas in Cornwall.Some were released in Hatchmere Nature Reserve during 2020, (part of a 5-year plan). A pairwere released on the South Downs in March 2021 and an adult pair plus the offspring at Cors DyfiNature Reserve in Powys in Wales.It is hoped that beavers will be released on the Isle of Wight this year in the Eastern Yarcatchment area where research has shown it to be an ideal location. The area has an abundantamount of food for the Beavers to eat. Their food intake requirement includes;shoots, leaves, roots and stems of watersidevegetation. They will fell trees to get to the tenderfoliage at the top. Beavers build dams using tree trunks,branches and other vegetation to create deep pools asrefuges, to make it easier to get around and a place tostore food over winter.The channels, dams and wetlands that beavers engineer, hold back water and release it moreslowly, helping to reduce the risk of flooding. Their dams filter water, cleaning it and preventspollution further downstream. They provide an amazing array of wetland habitats that greatlyenhances conditions for other wildlife to flourish and store carbon. The residents on the Islandhave just been sent a questionnaire for their opinion about the beaver release. So will it be a Yaror a no ?MCVs events and facilities are available to everyone.
