The Blean

Anita Rani and Matt Baker visit an ancient woodland in the heart of Kent, and we revisit the Auchlyne hunting estate in Scotland to catch up with Emma, the incoming laird.

This week Anita Rani and Matt Baker are visiting The Blean, an ancient woodland in the heart of Kent, to get an exclusive look at a wilding project like no other. Matt comes face to face with the beast that will hopefully make this conservation scheme a reality 鈥� the bison - and Anita finds out about a sleepy success story: dormice are being breed here to boost the numbers in the wild.

We also revisit the Auchlyne hunting estate in Scotland to catch up with Emma, the incoming laird. Deep in the wilds of Gloucestershire, we get a very special look at some of the UK鈥檚 most elusive creatures, pine martens, and down on Adam鈥檚 farm one of the driest springs on record is causing big problems.
