Banff National Park considers next steps for bison herd reintroduced into backcountry
“The five-year pilot represents the most recent efforts of Parks Canada in supporting the recovery of plains bison and has identified that Banff National Park is a feasible location where bison can successfully exist on the landscape,” it says.“With these positive findings, it is recommended bison remain on the landscape in the area in a controlled and measured form.”
No other animals in the park were negatively affected and there were no reports of threats to public safety or property damage, the report says.It adds that the project has strengthened relationships with several First Nations that has included ceremonies to bless the animals, as well as annual women’s and youth hikes to see the herd.The project has also provided some educational programs for visitors to learn about bison both online and in person.
