Welcome “two” the herd
Ground-breaking wilding project welcomes the birth of two female bison calves
Nearing the end of the trail is 'Conkers' by Chrissy Swain, a playful artistic portrayal of the changing seasons, where colourful fabric sculptures were placed within the trees.
The exhibition was coordinated by Elysia Davies Wilder Kent Education and Engagement Officer, who said: “The artists have done an amazing job in visually representing the Wilder Blean Project. They have worked incredibly hard on their sculptures, and we are grateful to them for sharing their artwork so the whole community can enjoy it.
“Engaging people is at the heart of Wilder Blean. We want the project to inspire people and highlight the need to change our behaviour as a society so we can combat the climate and nature crises and work together to promote nature-based solutions.”

Since 2022, the UK has sworn in four new prime ministers, the interest rate has risen from 0.25% to 5.25%, and, as of the 18th July, bison have been in the Blean for two whole years.
A children’s book inspired by the Wilder Blean Project, an initiative that involves free-roaming bison acting as ecosystem engineers in Canterbury, Kent will launch on Thursday 4th July 2024.
