Yellowstone National Park recently released a new plan for managing the bison herd. It’s in draft form, and maps out three alternatives for how to manage the herd in the future. Before it gets finalized, the public has a chance to read it and weigh in on which path is best. We talked with Morgan Warthin, chief of public affairs at Yellowstone National Park, to learn what this could mean for the future of the bison.
What questions do you have about bison, bison science, bison history, and bison management? Send your questions to us at [email protected] and we’ll try to answer as many as we can in an upcoming dispatch.
