The great migration: American bison

Why do bison move across the landscape? Work with park researchers studying bison grazing and migration. Through vegetation sampling, GPS tracking, telemetry, fecal samples, and other data points, you'll help researchers understand how bison use resources, what the implications are for the greater ecosystem, and how bison should be managed in and outside the protection of the park.
