Beavers
Escot's beaver programme is part of an important UK wide project. A two acre enclosure has been created within Escot Park encircling ponds, woodland and a section of stream to home a pair of unrelated wild caught Bavarian beavers, born in the Spring of 2006.
They have set up home in the bank of one of the ponds & we know they have a maternity lodge so hopefully young beavers will eventually emerge and a family colony will develop over the next few years. Recently they have built what is probably the first beaver dam in the south west for 800 years!
Individuals & small groups are invited to evening beaver-watch sessions at which these largely nocturnal animals provide exciting encounters of what was once a common sight throughout Europe. If you would like to book a visit, or sponsor the beavers & follow their progress, please contact Escot on 01404 822188 or email info@escot-devon.co.uk
