Very pleased to have started a taught masters in MSc Conservation Biology DICE Kent, looking forward to furthering my knowledge into the world of conservation!

Our MSc group visited Wildwood Kent & the Kent Wildlife Trust European bison reintroduction site yesterday to hear about UK conservation & rewilding. Many thanks to the Wildwood & KWT staff for making it such an interesting & inspiring trip!

This morning we released 3 Bison into the Blean Woods! They're already grazing while our team is busy being interviewed! We can't wait to see how their natural activities restore biodiversity to this ancient woodland. Find out more about our project here wildwoodtrust.org/wilder-blean/
