In the lush woodlands of Canterbury, a remarkable conservation story is unfolding. The Wilder Blean Project, spearheaded by Kent Wildlife Trust and Wildwood Trust, has embarked on a groundbreaking journey to reintroduce European bison, an ancient species long absent from these lands. This initiative is not just about bringing back a lost species; it's a profound statement on rewilding and ecological restoration. Through the natural behaviors of these 'ecosystem engineers,' a once-managed landscape is being transformed into a thriving, biodiverse habitat. This project is a beacon of hope, demonstrating the power of nature to heal and the potential of rewilding to reshape our environmental future. Join us as we delve into this extraordinary story of nature's resilience and our renewed commitment to preserving the delicate balance of our ecosystem.
