Unfenced, Unexpected, Unforgettable
Keep your ears perked. You may hear thundering hooves that once again grace the Canadian prairies. After an almost 100-year absence, plains bison wander freely both in Prince Albert National Park and on neighbouring lands. Introduced by the Saskatchewan government in 1969, the Sturgeon River plains bison herd is one of a very few free-ranging plains bison herds that have been re-introduced to their original North American range.
