This film documents the Devon Wildlife Trust efforts to use beavers as a tool to help restore wildlife rich habitats. This is the latest in over 10 projects to restore beavers to the UK. There are already over 120 beavers living wild in Scotland on the Tay and these are being threatened by the Scottish Government - find out more at http://scottishwildbeavers.org/ or join the campaign to protect the free beavers on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/groups/freebeavers/
