Somerset

The Somerset Catchment Beaver Advisory Group is currently being formally established but hopes to become fully operational over the winter of 2024/25.  The group aims to support communities living in the Somerset Catchment Partnership area – including the Levels and Moors – to capitalise on the positives of renewed co-existence with free-living beavers and offer advice on how to avoid or mitigate potential challenges while simultaneously always maintaining high levels of beaver welfare.  

The BAG’s Steering Group comprises organisations that have a broad range of specialisms and the ability to make or influence strategic and policy decisions that affect local communities and community planning.  However, we want to work with wider stakeholders and encourage two-way dialogue and learning with everyone who has either a personal or professional interest in beavers in Somerset.  This can be done by either contacting us directly or attending our Partnership Forum events.  Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
