Great to get out to some local #beaver sites and see them holding water and looking green amidst the heatwave! @exeter.ac.uk

A return to a peatland restoration site I used to work at yesterday. Looking forward to a new peatland PhD project looking at the role they can play in natural flood management in SW England!

will involve extensive fieldwork to run existing hydrological monitoring sites and involve managing, quality controlling and processing hydrological and geospatial data . Whilst fieldwork and data analysis experience is essential, training will be provided for example to undertake drone surveys.

Flying up through the National Trust Holnicote Stage 0 river restoration site last week. Fantastic to see how much water is being held in the reconnected floodplain despite the recent drought conditions!

#beaver watching on the River Otter last night with colleagues from @uoe-creww.bsky.social will never get bored of either seeing the beavers or peoples reaction to spotting them for the first time!

Starting the week with sunny fieldwork at the @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social #beaver project! Has matured into an incredible wetland!

The 3rd and final #beaver site surveyed in the River Otter catchment this week. Upstream of the village of East Budleigh, our monitoring has shown this wetland to significantly reduce downstream peak flows. @exeter.ac.uk

The 2nd #beaver site I surveyed with Devon Wildlife Trust yesterday. Here the landowner has been supported by a Farming in Protected Landscapes grant to make space for beavers and this extraordinary wetland. @exeter.ac.uk

#beaver droning with Devon Wildlife Trust today. Amazing seeing the dams and wetland spread all the way across the valley bottom now at this site #NatureBasedSolutions @exeter.ac.uk @uoe-creww.bsky.social

Drone surveys of Stokeinteignhead a Natural Flood Managment site we're monitoring as part of Devon Resilience Innovation Project. Can nature-based approaches provide effective flood resilience to comunities in rapid response catchments? Monitoring and modelling results to follow! @exeter.ac.uk

Mid Storm Éowyn today fantastic to see the water being held in a #beaver wetland at one of the sites we've been monitoring since 2015 @exeter.ac.uk

Great time presenting @britishecolsoc.bsky.social in Liverpool. I’ll definitely be back. A fascinating range of #beaver #rewilding and #NbS presentations

Looking forward to my first @britishecolsoc.bsky.social conference this week. Presenting #beaver research in partnership with Devon Wildlife Trust. Multiple other members of our @uoe-creww.bsky.social @uniofexeter.bsky.social team going, come along and say hi if there!

Drone surveys from #beaver wetlands in England. At both sites beavers have created wetland habitat and reduced stormflow. However, one site is in the middle of a city and the other a forest, illustrating the breadth of landscapes where we can seek to implement nature-recovery and provide #NbS.

Great to see the beavers settling into the Plymouth site. Really like the education and engagement opportunities the urban location offers

Thought I’d give Bluesky a go, will mostly be posting random photos from my #beaver #hydrology and #naturebasedsolutions fieldwork
