Reply to comment by jctwok in A pioneering rewilding project has had an early surprise: a bouncing baby bison. It is the first wild bison to be born in the UK for thousands of years. by grab-n-g0

There aren’t really any truly wild areas left in the UK, almost all of it is managed in some way.

The reason for the enclosure is more for their protection as they’re big beasts and if they wander on to a road or something then it won’t be good for anyone.

The ‘rewild’ bit comes from the work the bison are here to do, which is rewild ancient woodland.

I know. I was just thinking it would be nice to see them released somewhere larger, like the Knepp estate.
