My Nonprofit Reviews

My support for Buffalo Field Campaign began more than 12 years ago after a trip to Yellowstone in a very cold winter. It was a memorable experience to see close up the bison dealing with cold, storms and scarcity of food. The survival of these iconic animals is wonderful.

Buffalo Field Campaign champions not only the wild buffalo but the people and communities that surround Yellowstone. The primary strength of Buffalo Field Campagin is a true grassroots organization that has won support from people throughout the US but is definitely grounded in the region it serves. This recognition of the intricate and vital relationship between people, wildlife and place is the other source of strength of Buffalo Field Campaign. Together, this means that all funding goes to the charitable purpose of the organization, and the individual participants and supporters get to feel a direct link with Buffalo Field Campaign, the people who run it and the animals it serves.

A few years ago I was lucky enough to be snowshoeing in Yellowstone during a very cold January. At first, we would see small groups of bison at a distance. But as the weather got more severe, we came upon a larger herd that had wandered into our camp. I had a bison encounter of the too-close-for-comfort kind but came away with a deep respect and love for these enduring animals. It's no wonder that the wild bison has become an American icon and the symbol for many of our states. Since then, I've been a supporter of Buffalo Field Campaign. These are people who give up their time and comfort to spend hours working to protect these iconic aniamls. The health of Yellowstone and all our prairies can be measured by the health of their major animals. Please consider Buffalo Field Campaign as the champion of not just the buffalo but all of the land and other animals who live "where the buffalo roam."
