In this film by award-winning film maker Henry Kirkwood, we meet nature enthusiast and lone-kayaker Rupert Kirkwood to hear why we should welcome beavers' return to the UK and what we can do to assist them.

As a keystone species, beavers play a disproportionately large role in maintaining the structure and function of an ecosystem. Rupert talks about the reasons for their historical decline, how to spot signs that a beaver might be present, their mannerisms, and how their dam-building activity creates the perfect environment for a huge number of different animals.
