30 Days Wild is The Wildlife Trusts' annual nature challenge where we ask the nation to do one 'wild' thing a day every day throughout June.

Our series of Open Gardens gives you the opportunity to walk around stunning gardens across Kent that have been planted and maintained to encourage and benefit wildlife but also to provide a colourful, welcoming haven in which to relax and socialise.

Re-wilding is about re-storing natural processes. It can be thought of as a re-imagining of what a thriving natural environment can look like and a re-awakening of people’s connection to nature. However, too often this gets equated to re-turning to the past or re-creating a point in history.

The natural landscape of this woodland has been altered by people and animals for thousands of years; here's a history.

Thanks to funds raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery, Kent Wildlife Trust and Wildwood Trust have partnered up to show how European bison can provide a sustainable solution to woodland management in south east England.

To measure change and monitor the impacts of our wilding projects over time, we must always gather data about the site before the project begins. This is called a baseline. All future data is then compared to this baseline so we can start to understand what has changed because of the project.

Monitoring is the act of observing and checking the quality of something, such as a heartbeat or the weather. For the Blean, we are observing and checking on the impacts our wilding project is going to have on biodiversity and the woodland environment.

Highland cows with their distinctive long horns and flowing coats are the unsung heroes of nature conservation.

Longhorn cattle can be many colours but they are almost always brindle (splattered/stripey) with a white line down the spine. They have long backs and can have very impressive horns.
