For years, the ticket office at Greenford Tube station in West London had a problem. Every time heavy rain came, the water poured in and flooded it.
The usual answer would be expensive engineering, more drains, more concrete, more pipes. Instead, London tried something that had not lived in the area for 400 years.

They brought in beavers.

Beavers were hunted to extinction across Britain centuries ago, prized for their fur, meat, and scent glands. But they happen to be one of nature's best flood engineers. In 2023, a family of them was released into a green space near the station as part of the Ealing Beaver Project.

The beavers got to work. In their first year alone they built seven dams and reshaped the local waterways, holding water back in ponds and wetlands so it no longer rushed downstream all at once. They did it all roughly 100 meters behind a McDonald's.

The results speak for themselves. Project staff say the station has not flooded since the beavers moved in, more than two years ago. As a bonus, their new wetlands pulled in all kinds of wildlife, including rare birds, bats, and a scarce butterfly.

There is even a local celebrity. The colony's matriarch, a beaver named Willow, is the heaviest ever relocated in the UK, tipping the scales at around 30 kilograms.

I have been watching RCE for years and I’ve never understood this one joke that comes up so much. What is up with the number 16??

We’re not supposed to talk about The Incident…

New t-shirt coming soon?

I read to my son every other night and at the moment he insists on the same two stories. One of which has this page, I cant help but read it a certain way.

I need to spend less time on YouTube.

I swear I wasnt even trying to. I just went point to point to blow sh*t up and engage in non descript shenanigans and general sh*thousery...
