Major Programme to Reintroduce Water Voles to the Kielder Forest
Monday, July 10, 2017
Almost 700 of the endangered rodents, immortalised in Wind in the Willows, will be released in Northumberland - and it's all thanks really to the otter. The biggest reintroduction of water voles in the UK began this week, with 325 voles released into Kielder Forest in Northumberland, and 350 more to follow later in the summer.
