Field Guide to Beaver Signs Recorded in South East England

Bramley Associates have put together a Field Guide to Beaver Signs Recorded in South East England.

This guide shows positive signs of beaver activity but also signs that could be mistaken for beaver presence.

Unlike most guides that show many signs in 'perfect' condition we have displayed signs as they are found on survey works.

This guide will be applicable to many other areas in the UK that are dominated by flat, farmland habitats with ditch, stream and river systems.

Bramley Associates are happy for people to download this document, but request that this field guide be referenced in all usage as a professional courtesy.

Beaver Survey of the Greater Stour Valley

In 2018, Bramley Associates undertook a beaver survey of the Greater Stour valley, from Ashford to Sandwich Bay. The results showed that beavers are widespread, and that overall, beavers in Kent are the second most widely distributed population in England.
 
'It will be interesting to have beavers back in the UK after 100’s of years without them. There is no doubt that beavers have returned to a city in Kent that they last occupied in the 5th Century when Canterbury was known by the Old English name Cantwareburhrs.'
