Up to 50 wild beavers could be released into Dorset rivers under plans announced by a nature conservation charity.

Dorset Wildlife Trust has submitted an expression of interest to Natural England for the proposed project in the River Hooke and wider River Frome catchment.

The trust said a phased approach was preferable, with the semi-aquatic mammals released at about 10 suitable sites over several years.
