Ealing Beaver Project Safari

A guided safari to visit the Ealing Beaver Project site in urban Greenford, the first accessible urban reintroduction of Beavers in the UK.

Join us for a guided safari through the Beaver-transformed Paradise Fields for a chance to see the Ealing Beaver Project Beavers. It is a unique opportunity to observe our reintroduced Beaver family and their behaviours with the unique insight from one of the project leaders.

Like most wildlife, there is never a guarantee that we will see the Beavers. Using adaptive strategies, we aim to balance the possibility of seeing beavers while minimising disturbing them.

Each safari will begin with an introduction and adapt to onsite conditions and current Beaver patterns. Some off-trail walking may be involved so we recommend you wear appropriate waterproof footwear. Your clothing should be of muted colours (greens, browns, greys, blacks), with no loud patterns or designs. Also, no deodorants, perfumes or colognes as Beavers have an acute sense of smell.

We request that all attendees behave appropriately. You will be required to stand still in silence for relatively long periods so portable camp chairs are permitted and advisable, particularly if you have physical restrictions making standing uncomfortable. Bring binoculars if you have them, though some will be provided to share.

Those not acting in the interests of the Beaver’s welfare will be asked to leave the site. Beavers are wild animals who are disturbed by human intervention and loud noises.

With Beavers being a native reintroduced species, the Ealing Beaver Project is excited to share responsible Beaver watching.

NB – Safaris are strictly over 16s.
