🌿🦫 Wildlife Wednesday: Beavers Transforming Trentham’s Lakeside Habitat! 🦫🌿

Our resident beavers have really made themselves at home at Trentham Gardens, and their impact on the landscape is remarkable! 🏞️

The family of seven has been busy on their island, felling Rowan trees and opening up the canopy. By clearing some of the thicker growth, they’re helping more light reach the ground, which benefits the overall health of the island. 🌳

One of the most fascinating things about beavers is how they reshape their surroundings to suit their needs, and you can see evidence of their engineering skills around the edge of the lake.

They’ve started digging their own canals through the reed beds near the amphitheatre. Beavers love to stay close to the water, where they feel safest, and these clever waterways allow them to reach their favourite spots without venturing far from the protection of the lake. 🌾

As you walk around Trentham’s lakeside, keep an eye out for the signs of beaver activity—nibbled tree bark, willow trees they’ve sampled, and these amazing little waterways. These subtle changes are all part of their natural behaviour, showing how they truly shape the landscape to suit their needs.

Next time you visit, see if you can spot their handiwork—it’s a brilliant example of nature at work! 🦫✨
