BRINGING BACK THE BEAVER The Story of One Man's Quest to Rewild Britain's Waterways

With his gentle Scottish accent, narrator Calum Beaton will have listeners convinced that he's author Derek Gow. Gow details his efforts to reintroduce beavers into England, a process rife with the frustrations of bureaucratic red tape. Beaton is in step with the author whether he's recounting fending off an angry beaver with a broom or painting funny and not entirely flattering portraits of colleagues and government officials. Listeners also hear Gow's personal story of how he came to work in conservation, and there are some truly beautiful passages of nature writing. Pair this audiobook with Ben Goldfarb's EAGER for a lively and fascinating education about nature's environmental engineers and why they matter.
