I was a Donor & I am a small to medium donor to support their important work in protecting the last remaining truly wild bison in America. I also participate with emails and phone calls and written comments to help them in their action alerts.

Their excellent newsletters keep me informed about what is happening to the herd and let me know what I can do to help out. They are compassionate, caring, committed individuals who have dedicated their lives to the cause of preserving this last remnant of a once mighty herd of buffalo. They have responded with handwritten thank you notes of gratitude for donations -- a couple I really cherish -enclosed in one was a small tuft of real buffalo hair that had been shed in the spring-- the front of another card had a group picture of the volunteers and staff with snowflakes falling. In the 10 years since I discovered the Buffalo Field Campaign they have worked tirelessly to protect these bison, have accomplished much and saved many buffalo lives.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... hearing about the patrols which go out in all kinds of adverse weather and at all hours to monitor and record what heinous and ridiculous things governmental agencies are doing to the bison. I've also seen the volunteers who station themselves on highways

- If I had to make changes to this organization, I would… I can't recommend any changes because they have managed so well on meager donations and accomplished so much for the bison through their own determination and hard work. Wish they could have a million $$$ to buy land for much needed buffalo habitat.
I was a Donor & I am on a limited income, but this organization is my number one priority because they are so effective.

I first heard about this organization on my last trip to Yellowstone and I was so impressed with their work and the need for their work, that I have kept in touch with them and donated what I can (in money).
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... seeing how effective they have been with very little money and all volunteers. It is amazing they can be in the field every day--no matter how cold it gets!
- What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is... They give me hope that change can come even in the worst circumstances. They are fighting for the animals, who have no voice. I also enjoy the very nice notes, hand written, that they send as thank yous. They personally respond quickly to emails .
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... Energetic, hard working, dedicated, personable. Obviously going out of their way not only to help the bison, but also any one who had questions.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... Cnange the whole lives of the buffalo. The American icon--and it deserves to be respected instead of mistreated. They could also buy up land where the buffalo could roam freely--probably the most important thing.

- My experience would have been better if... They could do a better job if they had more money and were able to get their message out. For instance, if they could hire a full time person to do publicity and ask for donations.
- If I had to make changes to this organization, I would… Give them more help.
- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... Lack of money and the fact that they are fighting well entrenched interests, ie, the cattle interests.
- One thing I'd also say is that... it has made me very sad to see the plight of the buffalo but I have gotten strength and hope from what these remarkable people do--and are doing. They embody the very spirit of unselfishness and are truly an inspiration.
I was a Donor & I have talked to friends and elected representatives about the crucial goal of preventing Montana's cattle ranchers and their puppet Interagency Bison Management Plan (IBMP) from killing off Americans' last herd of genetically-true, continually-free wild

I visited the Buffalo Field Campaign in Montana. It is a group of deeply committed, caring individuals, who have stood up against the squandering of Federal and State tax dollars that are used to cruelly harass and kill our nation's last Bison. The BFC opposes the Montana cattle industry's propaganda that Buffalo should not be allowed to roam freely on our Federal Lands. Also, the BFC educates Americans regarding the influence of the state's cattlemen and the reckless control they exert on the MDOL (Montana Department of Livestock) and other 4 members of the IBMP.
The Great!
- I've seen the results of this organization in... saving hundreds of baby buffalo from the Montana Department of Livestock and Yellowstone Park Service. If it were not for the Buffalo Field Campaign letting Americans know what was about to happen, these helpless babies would all have been killed.
- The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were... warm, friendly, and enthusiastic.
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... rescue this unique herd from the power of the cattlemen and their political influence.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... informing as many Americans as possible about what is really going on with taxpayers' dollars to appease a powerful lobby of millionaire cattlemen intent on grazing their cattle on publically-owned lands for free, and killing Buffalo to do it.

The Buffalo Field Campaign is a dedicated, courageous group of people who have dedicated themselves to stop the slaughter of our precious Yellowstone buffalo herd. The buffalo are hazed, abused and slaughtered every year by the Montana Dept. of Livestock to keep the ranchers happy. It is totally unnecessary and cruel beyond belief and the BFC volunteers are there to witness and speak out on behalf of these magnificent animals 365 days a year.
The Great!
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... Buy enough land around Yellowstone Park so the buffalo would have room to roam without being killed.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... The livestock industry, greed and ignorance.

BFC works year in and year out in all kinds of extreme weather to protect buffalo who are on the brink of extinction. If not for this group, much of the abuse heaped upon these hapless animals by government agents working on behalf of cattle ranchers would not be known. They are heroes in the real sense of the word.
The Great!
- If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could... do a lot more! Get out the word to the public about this problem. Hire lobbyists to influence Montana and federal legislators in favor of the buffalo.

- In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are... cattle ranchers and the government agents who serve them; also a media supportive of any business and hostile to animal interests, making getting the word out about this problem difficult.
