In 2019, two Eurasian beavers were introduced at the Spains Hall Estate near Braintree to help reduce flooding.Archie Ruggles-Brise, estate manager, said: "The chance to bring more natural engineering skills to the estate is beyond exciting."The beavers build dams slowing down the river flow and sending water to new channels which has helped prevent flooding
He said the beavers would make the estate "more able to weather the changes climate change will bring, and all the while providing inspiration and experience that others can use elsewhere". The Environment Agency said the beavers reduced flood risk by building dams which slow down the river flow and send it through new channels and wetlands.
