With bison now living in the woods, bring the family along for a wildlife filled tour with our Wilder Kent Safari guide.
About this event
Come along for a family friendly safari at West Blean and Thornden woods this summer. Meet our safari guide to hear about the impact animals and insects, from great big bison to tiny wood ants, have on the landscape and why Kent Wildlife Trust is carrying out this pioneering 'wilding' project. What is 'wilding', how do these animals behave in the wild, and how could they reverse the current species decline?
This safari is suitable for avid young naturalists and climate campaigners or enthusiastic beginners- everyone is welcome!
Adults do not require their own tickets but children must be accompanied throughout the safari.
Family wildlife watch safaris will last approximately 1 hour and most of the time will be spent walking or standing. Most of the route will follow paths but there will be some muddy sections, especially during periods of wet weather. There is minimal shelter onsite so make sure you're wearing suitable clothing for the weather conditions. There are no toilets or refreshments available on site.
