Beavers have built their first dam in Exmoor in more than 400 years after river restoration work by the National Trust.

Footage captured on wildlife cameras shows the animals gnawing trees and collecting vegetation to create the structure across small channels that run through the Somerset estate.

Rangers described the beavers as “ecosystem engineers” because nine months after they were introduced to slow the flow of water through the landscape and improve river quality, they have created an “instant wetland”.

Ben Eardley, the project manager at the National Trust, said: “It might look modest, but this beaver dam is incredibly special – it’s the first to appear on Exmoor for almost half a millennium and marks a step change in how we manage the landscape.
