91: Beaver Trust with Chris Jones

In this episode, once again, we are going to talk about ecological restoration and bringing back species that were extirpated from their native range. Our guest is Chris Jones who is the Restoration Director at Beaver Trust. During our conversation, we discuss the history of Beaver Trust, how it was found and why. Then we discuss beaver ecology and the role of beavers in the ecosystem. Chris gives us some real-life examples of benefits that beavers bring, not only to the environment but also to humans. We finish our conversation by discussing the future of beaver reintroductions and broader, the future of ecological restoration. This episode is a must-listen if you are interested in ecology and habitat restoration. https://beavertrust.org/ Support the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tommysoutdoors (buymeacoffee.com/tommysoutdoors) Recommended Books: https://tommysoutdoors.com/the-best-nature-books/ (tommysoutdoors.com/the-best-nature-books) Hats and T-shirts: https://tommysoutdoors.com/shop/ (tommysoutdoors.com/shop) Follow Tommy's Outdoors on https://twitter.com/outdoorspodcast (Twitter), https://www.instagram.com/tommysoutdoors (Instagram), https://www.youtube.com/tommysoutdoors (YouTube), https://vm.tiktok.com/ZML9M8NKy/ (TikTok) and https://www.facebook.com/tommysoutdoors (Facebook) Hosted on Acast.
