The National Farmers' Union says it is against plans for beavers to play a role in tackling flooding in the south west.

A six year trial with the creatures at a secret Dartmoor location has seen them create a network of ponds and dams .

Researchers from the University of Exeter and the Devon Wildlife Trust believe they could help to slow the flow of flood water and so form part of a solution in flood prone areas.

However, a spokesperson for the NFU said the organisation "specifically opposes the re-introduction of the European Beaver because of concerns about the damage to farmland and farming operations caused by their physical activities and the risks of them spreading disease".
