Beaver fact: “Did you know beavers are vegetarian, they only eat plants like brambles and trees”
Woodland Valley Farm Field Station
Woodland Valley Farm is a working organic farm with an award winning event venue and activity centre. Since 2017 it has hosted a family of beavers in a 5 acre fenced enclosure, a perfect venue to learn all about beavers and easily spot them on an arranged visit.
Our field station is situated in a beautiful wooded valley near Truro, Cornwall, and you are welcome to arrange a visit for your school, family, business or as an individual, to see for yourself! Chris Jones, owner of Woodland Valley Farm and Beaver Trust’s Director of Restoration, always has a warm welcome for visitors and is a font of beaver and farming wisdom.

The Cornwall Beaver Project
The Cornwall Beaver Project is a collaboration between Woodland Valley Farm and The Cornwall Wildlife Trust. It aims to observe the impacts of beavers on water quantity and quality, which are being monitored by University of Exeter researchers.
Biodiversity monitoring is also being carried out on habitats, amphibians, bats, some invertebrate groups, fish and, most recently, bees. One of the most exciting aspects to the project is the potential to alleviate flooding downstream in Ladock, a village which is increasingly affected by floods.
