About this Event
Across Britain, salmon are slipping away, trout are struggling, and a third of our freshwater fish face extinction, threatening ecosystem health.
Return of the engineer
Once hunted to extinction for their fur and castoreum, beavers are making a comeback, reshaping waterways and ecosystems. Their dam-building creates vital habitats that boost biodiversity, from plants and fungi to fish.
Yet, concerns linger: could their dams block the migratory paths of salmon and trout trying to reach their spawning grounds?
The film
Balancing the Scales is a powerful, visually stunning documentary that captures hope amid environmental uncertainty. Through candid interviews with leading experts, this film unpacks the intricate relationship between beavers and migratory fish—revealing the opportunities beavers create and the unique challenges they introduce in our modern landscapes.
Join this journey of discovery to find a balance between realising the ecological benefits of beaver activity and protecting and preserving endangered migratory fish populations.
