The Blean Wildscape is a landscape-scale wilding project, covering over 12,000 hectares, including the largest area of ancient broadleaved woodland in southern Britain and seven nationally and internationally designated nature sites.
This week, pupils at Herne Junior and Herne Infants were treated to a very special experience as part of their journey to connect with local wildlife and the natural world. Kent Wildlife Trust’s education team joined forces with New York Times bestselling children’s author Alice Hemming, who visited the schools to lead creative storytelling workshops based on her book The Bison and the Butterfly.
The bridges will allow the UK’s only wild bison herd access to 200 hectares of West Blean and Thornden Woods in Canterbury.
Come and meet us face to face to continue building your vision for the Blean landscape. We will share the common themes that emerged from September's vision workshop and discuss what you'd like the Community Advisory Group to achieve going forward. Whether you've joined a session before, or if this would be your first session you're very welcome to attend!
