This week marked one year since Trentham reintroduced beavers to Staffordshire, and to celebrate, the estate will feature in the Easter Sunday episode of BBC's Countryfile.

Presenter of BBC's popular show 'Countryfile' Margherita Taylor will be heading to the Trentham Estate on the Trent Valley Easter Sunday special of the BBC TV show.

The feature coincides with the anniversary of the beavers being reintroduced to Staffordshire by Trentham. Margherita will be learning about how the beaver family have made themselves at home at the Grade II* listed gardens with Trentham’s Beaver Ranger Harvey-Jay Tweats, as they study their coppicing behaviour and their lodge building activities within the largest beaver enclosure in Britain.  

Margherita will then join Trentham’s Wildlife Ranger Duncan Coleman on a cruise of the Trentham mile-long serpentine lake, discovering species that reside on the lake including grey herons, little egrets, and cormorants – and take the chance to spot other bird species at Trentham which can include goosander, black swan, gadwall, tufted duck, oyster catcher and mandarin duck.

The Countryfile episode featuring Trentham will be on BBC One at 6pm on Sunday 31 March.
