Estate owner Mandy Lieu is aiming to restore 925 acres of woods and parkland.
A pair of beavers have been released as part of a rewilding on a former shooting estate.
The semi-aquatic mammals, which were hunted to extinction in the 16th Century, create wetlands and wildlife habitat.Beavers were once widespread in Britain, but were hunted for their fur, glands and meat. The Beaver Trust described them as a "keystone species" with the ability to improve entire ecosystems by kickstarting the natural processes needed to restore habitats and reverse species loss in an area.There is a growing body of evidence from reintroduction sites that beaver dams slow the passage of water through landscapes, cutting flood risk downstream and also conserving water in times of drought.
