Two Bison Calves Born in Kent's Rewilding Project

The surprise births mark a significant milestone in efforts to boost biodiversity and climate resilience in Blean Woods.

The two female calves increase the herd size to eight, with four adults and four calves now roaming the Blean Woods.
The bison were introduced in 2022 as part of a project by Kent Wildlife Trust and Wildwood Trust to manage and regenerate the woodland ecosystem.
The births were unexpected, with rangers unaware of the pregnancies until shortly before the calves were born.
The project aims to enhance biodiversity by allowing the bison to graze, which creates new habitats for other species.
Construction of bison bridges is underway to expand their roaming area to 200 hectares while keeping them separate from public footpaths.
