Woodland Trust very much welcome any KWT volunteers at our networking events. As discussed, there are some great local events coming up in Kent, but others planned elsewhere in the South East for those that like to travel a bit further.
We need your help to support the development of the project so we can connect the site for the bison, Exmoor ponies, Iron Age pigs and longhorn cattle that now live in the forest, shaping the landscape through their natural behaviours.
If you'd like to join us in welcoming the UK's first wild bison herd to the Blean, use these social media tiles.
Read about how European bison have returned to Kent after thousands of years, check out our brand new Science & Technology Zone to find out how we're using data and drones to inform our conservation strategies, and find out how you can enter our Photography Competition for the chance to have a double-page feature in the next issue!
Over the last year, schools, community groups and town councils across Kent have been taking part in the Kent Wildlife Trust’s Wilder Kent Awards scheme.

Between 2022 and 2024 we carried out conservation management and access improvement works across Hothfield Heathlands. The main aim of the ‘Precious Peatlands’ project was the restoration of peat bog.
This project, part of the Sevenoaks Greensand Commons, restored 5.5 hectares of heathland habitat.
This project is not about 're-wilding', it's about ‘wilding’: introducing the right “ecosystem engineer" species to the environment to improve habitats naturally.
Bison manage habitats in a way that no other animal can. Find out why bison were chosen for this pioneering project in our frequently asked questions
In order to demonstrate the incredible potential of wildling as a nature-based solution to the climate and nature crises, it is crucial that we monitor the Blean very carefully.
