Overview

Re-visiting the beavers 1-year after their reintroduction at Shrewsbury to see how they’ve made their mark. Last year, just after their reintroduction we saw their first signs of activity. Then continuing on along Shrewsbury’s lost river valley (an oxbow lake), and finishing the walk by following the route of the current river valley, along (and paralleling) the Shropshire and Severn Ways back to the start point.
