The beavers have been described as 'very important' to the local habitat.
Following the success of its water vole reintroduction, Trentham Estate has submitted plans for a beaver enclosure with the hope of housing up to four Eurasian beavers.
Alastair Budd, senior director of Trentham, said: “Beavers are one of the most important species in our habitats and we want to help visitors to understand why this once extinct UK native should be back in the English countryside helping to restore our ecosystems and mitigate the impact of climate change.
“Areas of the lake used for water sport activities will not be affected and there will be no changes to how the lake or lakeside walks are currently used by Trent Water Sports Association, anglers, visitors or dog walkers. Beavers are often referred to as ‘ecosystem engineers’ and their role in combatting climate change is increasingly being recognised, as they make changes to their habitats, such as coppicing trees and damming smaller water courses.
