Beaver Evenings at Martin Mere

Last week the beavers at WWT Martin Mere Wetland Centre felled one of the trees and these nocturnal creatures have since been seen by lucky visitors before the centre closes at 6pm.

After a 500 year absence from Lancashire, in 2007 two European beavers, a male and a female called Twiggy and Woody, became residents at Martin Mere. Their nocturnal activities are captured on night vision cameras streamed live on the Martin Mere website: http://www.wwt.org.uk/wetland-centres/experience/webcams/martin-mere-beavers/

Beavers, the world’s second largest rodent, are one of nature’s engineers excavating canals and building dams and lodges of branch and earth. The display at Martin Mere is the only attraction in the North West where visitors can see a beaver’s natural habitat.
