Invasive Mussel Emergency / Yellowstone Bison Cull



Missoulian: Yellowstone park looks at large bison cull to trim herds
Bison Management
“The protection and recovery of bison in Yellowstone is one of the great triumphs of American conservation.

Over the next hundred years, park employees worked to bring this species back from the brink of extinction. We succeeded, and now face the challenge of helping to manage a rapidly growing population of migratory bison that frequently roam beyond our borders onto private land and land managed by other agencies.”
