The Plan In 2021 the Sanctuary´s old Otter enclosure was repurposed and updated to create a new "Beaver Nursery" for the first pair, where they spent their first few months settling in, with the team keeping a close eye on their behaviour and eating habits. Once they had reached a good healthy weight and had the capability of building lodges and dams, they were moved to their brand-new home in the large 5 km2 wooded area behind the "Beaver Nursery" to live a natural beaver life. "The Secret Creek" project would not have been possible without the vital funding provided by the Postcode Local Trust. The Sanctuary were planning various research projects to understand more about beaver behaviour in the wild and how they impact the environment they inhabit. It is known that their presence is beneficial and may even help to combat climate change. The projects would mainly focus on monitoring water pollution and impact of damming, biodiversity counts, landscape changes and public perception on beaver rewilding which in return will generate educational content to share with guests visiting the Seal Sanctuary. Beavers are very secretive creatures, mostly active during the night, which makes it difficult for the public to engage with these mammals. The aim of the "The Secret Creek" area at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary was to provide engaging educational content for visitors to learn about these enigmatic animals. Returning guests would see landscape changes happening over time, while there is always the possibility to catch a glimpse of the beaver sisters hard at work.
