Bison Free To Roam Card

The American bison once roamed North America in vast herds, once numbering over 60 million. In a shameful era of commercial hunting and slaughter, the species was nearly driven extinct by the year 1900. Fortunately, wild bison have been recovering in national parks and reserves and now number in the thousands. As the national mammal of the United States, the bison symbolizes strength and freedom with a connection to our wild west heritage and the culture of Native American tribes. Support the spirit of “free to roam” in the wild and the expansion of bison herds in America.
