An MP has praised a major rewilding project during a recent visit to a Hampshire estate.

Kit Malthouse toured the 925-acre Ewhurst Park estate in Tadley, where he was shown plans to introduce free-roaming cattle, horses and pigs to help restore natural habitats.

Mr Malthouse said: "It’s an exciting time for Ewhurst Park as they embark on a major rewilding project.

"If you aren’t familiar with it, it’s a 925-acre green expanse in Tadley, and the team are on a mission to have it teeming with nature.

"Huge thanks to the team for showing me around and I urge you to get involved in their various tourism and education programmes if you want to find out more."

The estate is also applying for a beaver enclosure and planning additional tree planting.
