Two more beaver enclosures are to be built near to Jamie Oliver’s home to help reduce flood risk in the area.
The TV chef bought an Elizabethan manor house in Finchingfield, Essex, in 2019, and a pair of Eurasian beavers were brought into the nearby Spains Hall Estate the same year. In 2020, the adult beavers, Woody and Willow, had two babies, known as kits.
Two more beaver enclosures are to be built at Finchingfield Brook ahead of the introduction of two new families of beavers early next year. The £350,000 project, funded by an environmental partnership, will see two new 50-acre enclosures built, 10 times the size of the original enclosure which was built in 2019, reports Essex Live.
