By Orla MooreBeavers are set to return to a wetland for the first time in 400 years, conservationists said.
The Wildlife Trust said it had secured a licence from Natural England to release the native animals next winter. The news followed the successful completion of a feasibility study that would see the beavers released into an enclosed area of the wetland.It would be the first time in four centuries that the animals would be seen in the Nene Valley and the first release on to Crown Estate land, the Wildlife Trust said.The Northamptonshire branch of the charity said it would work closely with the Beaver Trust to "ensure the highest welfare standards".
"This is an exciting and unique opportunity to see this iconic species return to the Nene Valley, bringing back both its natural habitat restoration skills as well as providing an opportunity for the visitors to see beavers in the wild at our most visited reserve," Mr Johnson said.
