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.
