After the train journey the excited beavers got off and walked around 20 minutes to the Brighton Sea Life

Once they had finished visiting Sea Life the beavers then hit the beach for a Treasure Hunt and a walk back to the station

Blog | Seeking a Ninja Master to train our Colony

We have had recent reports that loads of tiny ninja Beavers, who wear turquoise, have been seen in East Finchley every Tuesday from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm.

Our current team needs help to ensure that they are safe whilst scaling obstacles and developing their appreciation of fire and other survival skills.

It is rumoured they also enjoy staying away from home – even under canvas – but more importantly, we need your help to stop them gnawing on our building and furniture on those odd occasions when we have to keep them indoors!

You will enjoy their antics and company, plus marvel at what they are capable of. If that isn’t enough for you, we can also provide light refreshments during your hour and a bit each week. Just avoid them building a dam on your head and ensure that you have some logs for them to chew on. You wouldn’t want them going after your leg or ears, instead.
