"Wild bison, absent from the United Kingdom for thousands of years, are being
reintroduced to a forest near Canterbury, England to help restore the woods to
their natural state.

The Wilder Blean project, a partnership of Wildwood Trust and Kent Wildlife
Trust, is returning bison to the West Blean and Thornden Woods, a forest
dominated by just a few species, namely pines from commercial tree plantations
dating back to the 1970s. The bison will knock down trees and trample over
shrubs, creating space for new plants to take hold. A greater diversity of
flora will attract new insects, birds, and reptiles, and will also help the
woods store more carbon, conservationists say."
