The National Trust reported that beavers reintroduced to Dorset one year ago have constructed a 35-meter dam, reshaped habitats, and attracted otters and rare birds, with evidence suggesting they may produce kits this summer. Despite setbacks including one male's death and a female's escape to nearby Swanage, the surviving western pair have settled in wet woodland and significantly improved biodiversity through their engineering activities.
