An appeal has been launched by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust to help re-introduce beavers to the River Idle at the Idle Valley Nature Reserve.
The £250,000 appeal would also allow the trust to expand its grazing programme with traditional breeds of cattle and other habitat improvements across the vast site as part of its wider efforts to secure natureâs recovery.
Trust chief executive Paul Wilkinson said: âWith its vast open skies and abundant wildlife across wetland, woodland and meadows, the Idle Valley Nature Reserve is by far our most exciting site in terms of its potential for habitat restoration.

The Hidden World of Algae, an open-air microscopic photography exhibition highlighting the importance of algae has launched at the University of Nottingham’s Highfield Park, with a virtual version online to ensure as many people as possible can enjoy the installation while in lockdown. Information boards are positioned at intervals around the lake on University Park campus, which is mirrored in the virtual exhibition, displaying the microscopic images with descriptions.
A collaboration between the British Phycological Society and the University of Nottingham’s School of Geography and Biological Photography and Imaging MSc course, the exhibition is the largest outdoor exhibition of algae and seaweeds in the world, combining photographs from the Hilda Canter-Lund photographic competition, as well as pictures taken by staff and students from the University’s Biological Photography and Imaging MSc course.
