Are you interested in helping our wild beaver populations to thrive? Could you talk tactfully and confidently to landowners about the incredible, positive impacts beavers can have on our landscape? And do you have honed GIS skills which you’re keen to apply to help restore nature across our region?
The Bristol Avon catchment has a large population of wild beavers, a result of unlicensed release(s), which we think took place sometime around 2020. Unlike managed beaver enclosures and licensed wild releases (only permitted since Feb 2025), our beaver population has grown without management or support.
Our new Beaver Advice and Support Team (Bristol Avon & Somerset Frome) will upskill and inform a range of stakeholders – from Farm Advisors, Ecologists and Planning Authorities to farmers and landowners – about living alongside the beaver population to ensure they thrive.
We seek someone to join the Beaver Advice and Support team and wider strategic Beaver Advisory Group. Tasked with collecting, analysing and presenting high-quality data on the wild beaver populations living across our river catchments, you’ll also deliver on-the-ground advice and support to landowners, farmers and communities working/living alongside beavers, improving local knowledge, support and acceptance of beavers.
