2 female bison calves born in Blean Woods, Canterbury, contribute to European breeding program for species recovery.

Two female bison calves have been born in Blean Woods, Canterbury, increasing the herd to eight. Introduced in 2022 as part of a project to enhance woodland habitats and combat climate change, these European bison are crucial for biodiversity. The initiative includes a £1 million plan to build bison bridges, expanding their range from 50 to 200 hectares. The calves are genetically significant, contributing to a European breeding program aimed at species recovery.
