Bison return to Banff National Park

[Catherine]

This is wonderful news. Banff National Park, the first Canadian National Park, is in the Rocky Mountains in Alberta. The area is so over used and ecologically stressed. Years of misuse have taken their toll.
Finally they will be reintroducing Bison to the park. Who can predict how this will impact the ecology. It can only improve things in the long run. Look what the wolves did for Yellowstone.

I did a lot of hiking in that area when I was younger and lived out that way. I am thrilled to think of Bison herds roaming. It could be park of restoring the area to eco-health. I know it will be years before the impact is felt, but just seeing it started gives me much hope.
