First beaver along the Zwarte Water [Black Water] in Hasselt

This Saturday Forestry Commission volunteers wanted to pollard willows along the Zwarte Water in Overijssel when one of them discovered that some willows had been gnawed. That turned out to be beaver traces. A first along the Zwarte Water! …

The Forestry Commission is pleased with the return of the beaver, it provides additional dynamics in floodplains and along with the otters also living here they are the ambassadors of a healthy natural river.
