"Bison are being introduced to a British woodland to restore an ancient habitat and its wildlife, conservationists have said.
The move is part of a £1 million project led by Kent Wildlife Trust and the Wildwood Trust to help manage Blean Woods near Canterbury, Kent.
European bison, the continent’s largest land mammal, are the closest living relative to ancient steppe bison that would have once roamed Britain and naturally managed the habitat, conservationists said."
"A closely-knit herd of four European bison will be introduced into a fenced enclosure away from public footpaths, in what is the first time the animals have been introduced to a nature reserve to help wildlife in the UK.
They will be within a wider 500 hectare (1,200 acre) area which will also use other grazing animals such as Konik ponies to create varied and healthy habitat."

Chiddingstone Castle is a fascinating Historic House set in 35 acres of informal gardens with breathtaking views of the North Downs, with a beautiful fishing lake. The springtime daffodil display on the East Meadow is truly spectacular. The Castle's history can be traced back to Tudor times, and was remodelled in the fashionable 'medieval castle-style' in the early 19th Century. One of the many unspoilt features of the castle is our lake. Covering approximately 3.5 acres, the lake is naturally stocked with original wild Carp, Bream and Perch.
Le Château de Chiddingstone est situé dans le Kent. Il date de l’époque TUDOR et a été remanié au fil du temps par ses différents propriétaires. Il est entouré d’un grand parc boisé et possède un étang où il est possible de pêcher la carpe, la brème et la perche sauvage.
