Bison could one day roam free across UK, say conservationists planning to release first herd for 6,000 years

I News reports a rewilding project that will bring bison back to the Kent countryside next year could pave the way for free-roaming herds of the animals across the UK within a few decades, conservationists hope.  A small herd of bison will be released into Blean Woods in Kent – the first time they will have lived on the British Isles for more than 6,000 years. They will join Iron Age pigs, longhorn cattle and Exmoor ponies as part of a pioneering rewilding project to restore the ancient tract of woodland.
