Year 2 name the Shrewsbury Beavers!

Year 2 have won a competition with The Shropshire Wildlife Trust to name the male and female Shrewsbury Beavers.

The Eurasian beavers were released at the Old River Bed in Shrewsbury in February, reintroducing the animals to the area for the first time in 400 years!

The pair have now been named Beryl and Bertie!

How incredible! We are looking forward to following their journey and the ecological impact they have and visiting them soon.  It is hoped Beryl and Bertie will help to maintain the Old River Bed nature reserve, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
