Undated handout photo issued by The National Trust of a female beaver and kit on the National Trust Holnicote Estate, in Exmoor, Somerset. It is part of the National Trust's “riverlands” project, which started on the estate in 2020, releasing beavers into two enclosures and working to restore the River Aller to a “stage zero” state with multiple channels, pools and shallow riffles as it would have had before human interference. Conservationists have said restoring rivers to a natural state and introducing beavers can help make landscapes resilient to the increasing risk of drought. Issue date: Saturday, July 5, 2025.
