United Kingdom

Connecting, inspiring and enabling rewilding throughout Yorkshire...
As a registered charity run by volunteers, we welcome donations to support our network. All funds received will be used to arrange events, put towards education & communication and help cover our administrative costs. If you would like to make a donation, please follow the "Donate to YRN" link below.
The Yorkshire Rewilding Network aims to bring together anyone in the region who has an interest in rewilding - to inspire one-another, share knowledge and experience, and work towards a brighter, more sustainable future for all inhabitants… be they creatures great or small.
We believe in a nature-first approach to land care and management - from urban gardens to 1,000-acre farms, coastal waters to upland dales - one that allows Yorkshire’s diverse mosaic of habitats to thrive, and all communities living within them to flourish.

Cropton Beaver trial – 5 years on
Recorded on Wednesday, 27th November 2024, this webinar is presented by Cath Bashford.
In April 2019 two beavers were released into an enclosure in Cropton Forest as part of a Natural England licensed trial - it was the first time beavers have been in Yorkshire for over 400 years. Since release, the beaver colony has grown and the beavers have made the site their own through their engineering ways. The main aim of the trial was to see how the beavers interacted with the manmade slowing the flow structures and various studies have been conducted throughout the five years of the trial looking at the hydrology, water quality and biodiversity of the site.
This free webinar is presented by Cath Bashforth, Ecologist for Forestry England, Yorkshire Forest District. Cath is the project lead for the Cropton Beaver trial.
