Supporters like you fueled tremendous growth in 2012, setting an exciting precedent for what we can accomplish in the year ahead. Thanks to your contributions, we acquired our largest property to date, grew the bison herd by more than 110 animals, installed our first interpretive signs, and connected the public to the prairie through exciting educational programs and volunteer opportunities. As we look ahead to 2013, I’m filled with anticipation at the many opportunities to build on this year’s growth.

Next year, we’ll expand the area of the Reserve that the bison are able to roam by nearly 10,000 acres and take down approximately 30 miles of fence that impedes wildlife movement. With several additional properties available for purchase, we can potentially add tens of thousands of acres to the Reserve with your help.

I hope you’ll consider being a part of this conservation legacy by making an annual gift this winter. – Sean Gerrity
