Spend a morning with one of the Bison Rangers, discovering all the latest updates and joining them to try tracking the Wilder Blean herd.
Working alongside West Blean's resident European bison and Iron Age pigs on a daily basis, the Bison Rangers are the custodians of the pioneering Wilder Blean herd.
These experience mornings give you the opportunity to meet the people who know the project the best, and offer the most in-depth access to the Wilder Blean project yet.
You'll start your morning at the Heather Corrie Ranger Station for an introduction to the project, and for the chance to see the technology the rangers have on hand to support them in their work.
Despite the technology, it's often the rangers' well-honed instincts that lead them to the herd, so we'll set off for a walk through to woodland to see if we can track down any of the animals. There won't be a set walking route; the rangers will be flexible and, if you're in luck and the bison are near the fenceline, they'll lead you straight to the best spots to try and get a sighting.
Please be aware that the bison do roam freely and there's every chance they could be deep within the woodland for the duration of the event, making a sighting impossible. This event will give you best opportunity of sightings, but please understand that we can't guarantee the behaviour of wild animals!
Whilst we won't be able to enter the bison enclosure, your ranger will make sure to point out any evidence of recent bison activity and will show you the latest camera-trap footage captured of the animals in action at the Ranger Station.
So get your walking boots ready and don't miss your chance to join the team for an inspiring morning discovering the exciting future of this beautiful ancient woodland!
