Hampshire: Baby beavers born at Ewhurst Park

The two babies were born to parents Chompy and Hazel, who were released into the enclosure in January 2023.

It was one of several places across England they were reintroduced to act as “ecosystem engineers”, building dams and felling trees to provide vital habitat and resources for insects, fish, plants, birds and bats, and help to mitigate flooding risks.

The Ewhurst Park project is part of wider rewilding efforts on the former shooting estate, which was bought by Malaysian-born model and entrepreneur Mandy Lieu four years ago.

She said the changes the beavers had made to the landscape were “extraordinary”.

Once the kits’ sexes are known, a naming competition will be held for local children to take part in.
