Learn all about the Plymouth Beaver Project at Poole Farm. Explore the enclosure and see how the beavers have changed the landscape.

Join us for a fascinating Beaver Tour at Poole Farm, where you can explore the incredible transformation these ecosystem engineers have made to the landscape! Discover the story behind the UK's first urban beaver project, learn about the highs and lows of their journey, and gain insight into the conservation efforts that support these amazing creatures.

Our knowledgeable guides will take you on a tour around the beaver enclosure, where you’ll learn all about the benefits these incredible animals bring to the environment. While we can't guarantee a sighting, as beavers are wild animals, they tend to be more active around dusk, so we remain hopeful for a lucky glimpse!

Important Information:

Group Size: Tours will proceed only with a minimum of 5 attendees and can accommodate up to 25 people.

Kids: We require a minimum ratio of 1 adult for every 3 children to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

What to Bring: Suitable footwear (walking boots or wellies), outdoor wear (we recommend layers and waterproof clothing if needed), a water bottle, and any snacks you might want to stay energized during the walk.

Weather Considerations: Please be prepared for an outdoor adventure! We’ll be outside for most of the session, exploring the beaver's habitat and seeing firsthand how they’ve shaped their surroundings.

How to get here: Take the 50/51 bus to Keswick Crescent and it is a five minute walk down to the farm entrance. The 27 bus goes to Childrey gardens and it is a ten minute walk down to the farm. We have a bike shed so you can cycle in but remeber to bring your own lock. If you live locally you can walk in through any of the three surrounding nature reserves.
