A guided tour of the Ealing Beaver Project site at Paradise Fields in urban Greenford

You’ll be guided around the site to discover the aims of the Ealing Beaver Project, hear what our Beaver family have been getting up to since their release in October 2023, see signs of feeding and the dams they have built, and the positive biodiversity and ecological changes made to the site. Please note it is unlikely that you will see the Beavers but you will see lots of their activity. We request that all attendees behave appropriately. Those not acting in the interests of the Beaver’s welfare will be asked to leave the site. Beavers are wild animals that can easily be disturbed by human intervention and loud noises. With Beavers being a keystone species called “ecosystems engineers”, Ealing Beaver Project is excited to show you around the site and explore what is to come. Where to meet?

Can children attend?

We welcome families to attend. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian holding a paid adult ticket. Please note that all attendees must remain on the paths unless instructed to do so by the Walk Leader and to keep noise to a minimum to avoid disturbing the Beavers.

Why are you charging for tickets?

The Ealing Beaver Project is a five-year project so funding will be required to cover costs over that time. The partners decided to charge for the guided tours as a fundraising effort. They deliberately set a low ticket cost for adults, plus Eventbrite fees, with under-18s attending for free.

What are the ticket charges?

Each adult over 18 wishing to attend must purchase an adult ticket at £10.00, plus Eventbrite fees. All under-18s are free and don’t require a ticket. However, those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian with a paid adult ticket.

What do I do I can't attend the walk I booked?

To cancel please request a refund up to 24 hours before your walk. Only when a refund is requested can a ticket be made available to the waitlist for someone to attend in your place. You will receive a refund for only the ticket cost, as Eventbrite fees are not refundable.
