Deep in ancient woodland near Canterbury, construction has begun on two of four planned new bison bridges. <\/strong><\/p>

These structures will allow man and beast to coexist safely, giving the UK\u2019s only wild bison herd the freedom to roam, and the public the chance to see them from fully accessible bridges complete with viewing panels.\u00a0<\/p>

The \u00a31 million project, funded by multiple grants and private donors, will see the sensitively designed bridges take the public footpath, part of a network of local walking routes, up and over trails encouraging the bison to graze further afield.\u00a0<\/p>
