Seaton Sluice children eager to join beaver group
A beaver colony has been introduced to a South East Northumberland village - but wildlife enthusiasts needn't get too excited.
Seaton Sluice has got its own beaver group so that the children have got somewhere to go for meetings each week to have fun and learn, without having to travel to other villages.
The group will have the area's community police officers coming in to do a safety night, and will also be looking to hold its first big Christmas party soon.
Alan Anderson, who leads the new colony, said: "I think that it is a great achievement that we have 12 beavers when you consider that we have only just started and have been running for about five or six weeks.
"It shows that the kids are really enjoying being part of an exciting new group and hopefully we will have many more nights like this in the future.
"It's great to be a part of such an amazing group and I must thank all the leaders for supporting me. It's because of them that Seaton Sluice has a beaver colony and young children have a place to go each week to have fun and learn."
