My Nonprofit Reviews

When I first learned about the BFC I checked out the website and was extremely impressed with their work and their commitment. Volunteers are there year-round in temperatures reaching 60 degrees below zero as well as in the heat, going out in the field daily to document the abuses brought on by government agencies. These abuses are the result of urging from the huge cattle industry in Montana and are spurred by grazing issues, not the health issue they claim exists. The scientific and common sense arguments that have been explained on the BFC site are very compelling.

I wanted to help so I gathered a carload of items from their 2013 Wishlist, using a few of my own and buying others at yard sales. In September I drove them from Bend, Oregon to their lodge outside West Yellowstone. I was able to see the facility with its main lodge, cabins, yurts, and tee pee and it was obvious that the staff lives a very simple lifestyle. It's a small but hard working group and their advocacy efforts have lead to successful changes so far while more is needed .

While there I learned that they receive praise and thanks even from those who oppose their efforts. That's because the BFC helps protect buffalo in any way they can, including posting road signs warning motorists when the huge animals are on or near roadways. This not only keeps bison from being killed but keeps humans from having accidents and totaling their cars, to say nothing of possibly being hurt or even killed.

The weekly email updates with new videos, photos, and commentary are both excellent and inspiring when we see the truth about what is happening. I've already gathered more needed items from yard sales and will be making another trip in September of 2014. The people of the Buffalo Field Campaign are truly dedicated and appreciate all donations of any size, tangible or monetary.
