Welcome to
The Ealing Beaver Project
A unique community-led, fully-accessible urban beaver project
Nestled in the serene environs of Paradise Fields in Greenford, Ealing, the Ealing Beaver Project is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at fostering urban human-beaver coexistence. As London’s first fully accessible urban beaver reintroduction site, we are dedicated to bringing people closer to nature right in the heart of the city.
