Where to See Bison in the United States
OKLAHOMA
- The Joseph H. Williams Tallgrass Prairie Preserve in Oklahoma, located near Pawhuska, the Tallgrass Prairie Perserve is the largest protected remnant of tallgrass prairie left on earth. With the use of approximately 2,500 free-ranging bison and a patch burn model of prescribed burning, the Nature Conservancy in Oklahoma has worked to restore this fully functioning area of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem.
The American Bison (bison bison), once roamed the Great Plains by the millions, and then was almost hunted to extinction. Now, the American Bison is the national mammal of the USA.
Together with the bald eagle, America’s national bird, these two animals represent the United States' amazing natural beauty, both on land and in the sky.
An important part of American history, the American Bison is a symbol of the American West and the nation as a whole. They’re also a testimony to the power and potential of nature conservation, epitomized by the national parks.
