At last we have a common sense solution to flooding for some parts of the land. Why not use beavers as natural flood control agents. They do their work for no costs whatsoever. They naturally save people's properties from flooding. They do no harm to the environment, on suitable land; in fact they create an improved environment for other plant and animal species to flourish.
Some of the residents of Lydbrook in the Forest of Dean must be delighted that these harmless creatures will be allowed to manage a flood control scheme.
We should never have extirpated this species just for their fur. I have written about this subject before and never have I been so delighted to say, "I told you so."
