The Baby Beavers Rewilding London Behind a McDonald's
In the heart of West London, something remarkable is unfolding. Just 100 metres behind a McDonald’s in Ealing, a family of beavers are quietly reshaping the landscape. This pioneering rewilding project is transforming Paradise Fields into a thriving urban wetland, right on the city’s doorstep. In just 16 months, these ecosystem engineers have slowed water flow, built natural habitat, and helped reduce flood risk. The beavers are back and nature’s lovin’ it! A huge thank you to Elliott Newton from Citizen Zoo for showing us around this inspiring site in the heart of West London. 🦫 Find out more about The Ealing Beaver Project: https://theealingbeaverproject.com 🔎 About the Series Join host Olly Bolton (CEO & Co-Founder at Earthly.org) on a journey across the UK to explore groundbreaking rewilding and nature recovery projects. Each mini-documentary brings you up close with the people restoring ecosystems — from creating wetlands and regenerative farms to reintroducing vital species like beavers, wildcats, and water voles. See biodiversity return, landscapes change, and resilience grow in the face of challenges like fire and heatwaves. Wilding Earth is a series about hope, action, and regeneration — inspiring landowners, communities, and viewers to be part of nature’s comeback. Know a UK project we should feature?
