**POSTPONED** - Beaver-versary tours and celebration. It is with great sadness that we have taken the difficult decision to postpone this Saturday’s event to celebrate the Anniversary of the #EssexBeaver release. The reason will be clear to you all and whilst the UK is not yet in the grip of an Italy-style lock down it feels inappropriate to be encouraging such a large proportion of our local community to gather together at such at time. We have 75 people signed up to the tours and many more saying they will come to the day. In a community of this size we feel that represents a significant potential risk to those who are more vulnerable in our village. We hope that, once the current situation has passed or become clearer, we will have an opportunity to reschedule the event later in the year. Thank you all once again for all your interest in the project. Indeed the results that have been pulled together from the first year of the project will be enhanced by further data. Please can you pass on news of the cancellation to anyone you may have told or invited to the event. Archie Ruggles-Brise
