31/05/2024: Beavers and flooding, Bees, Second Homes
Manage episode 421329537 series 1301216
House prices in the Lake District are likely to fall because of plans to control the number of homes being turned into holiday lets, according to the most senior planning officer at the national park authority. This is already being done in Wales where it has been causing a lot of controversy.
A ten year study of beavers in Devon shows that they are having a positive impact on flood and drought alleviation – according to researchers at Exeter University who have been following the beavers on the river Otter, some farmers disagree with the findings.
And a grandfather and grandson team of bee keepers rent hives to apple growers in Northern Ireland so the bees can pollinate the crop.
