A group of children aged 8-12 were amazed to find out about beavers' 'super powers' following their wild adventure. The Idle Valley Wildlife Group had a 30 Days Wild treat when they were taken to a beaver enclosure to find out all about the animal.
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust took the young group to explore the vast enclosure at the Idle Valley Nature Reserve. Wildlife Trust staff Charleen Case and Laura Bacon gave the children a closer look at the animals as part of their month-long nature challenge. The young group said: “We heard about a beaver's super-powers - our favourite was the beaver 'goggles', the extra eyelid that covers their eyes underwater. We learnt that they don't eat fish - or pizza! But beavers love their veggies.”They added: "It was very exciting to search for signs of beavers. We found branches they had chewed, trees they had felled and a slide they used to slip into the water. Another highlight was the tiny froglets we found around one of the ponds.
Ros, Watch leader, said: "This was a lovely opportunity for the children to experience a wild part of the reserve and to begin to understand the role of beavers in the ecosystem. Many thanks to Charleen and Laura!" The beavers are just one part of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust's Conservation Grazing Programme, along with the cattle and sheep that help to graze nature reserves, cutting back scrub, young trees and creating great habitat for wildlife such as dragonflies, wildflowers and amphibians.
