New Bison on the Prairie! American Prairie Reserve Newsletter

Dear Friends of American Prairie Reserve http://www.americanprairie.org ,

Snow is upon us on the prairie and we are looking back on this year, feeling immensely thankful for all that occurred related to creating this beautiful reserve. Our bison herd grew by 32% this year with the addition of 11 new calves born on the prairie and 10 very cute yearlings that arrived from South Dakota, of Wind Cave National Park origin and sold to APF by The Nature Conservancy of South Dakota. The reserve itself grew by 39% in 2008 with the addition of 23,764 deeded and leased acres of grassland habitat.

Our science partners at World Wildlife Fund Northern Great Plains made exciting progress with their studies of mountain lions and migrating pronghorn, and are moving forward with plans for a possible 2009 reintroduction of swift foxes, which have been absent since the early 1900’s.

We are pleased to provide you with many new additional images of the prairie, located on APF’s website. This spring, reservations for our science field trips, attended by local school children from Hi-Line towns and the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, are nearly full.

All in all, we couldn’t be more pleased with all of this progress, which is of course completely enabled by our supporters like you. Thank you for sticking with us and we hope you can come enjoy the Reserve very soon.

Sincerely,

Sean Gerrity
APF President
