National Bison Day -Nov. 2nd
The Bison Corral/Darrow Bison Range will be offering samples of bison sticks, having a coloring contest, and offering special discounts on select merchandise. Bring your child in to pick up a coloring sheet packet! Come see the bison roam!
Groups representing conservationists, ranchers and Native American tribes came together earlier this year to designate the first Saturday of each November as National Bison Day, celebrating the official National Mammal of the United States.
The National Bison Legacy Act was established May 9, 2016, making the North American bison the official National Mammal of the United States. This is a great milestone for an animal that once faced extinction. The bison has played a central role in America's history and culture and helped shape the Great Plains and the lifestyle of Native Americans. Today, bison live in all 50 states and serves as a symbol of unity, resilience and healthy lifestyles and communities.
National Bison Day provides an opportunity for us to recognize the historic role of this magnificent animal, and to celebrate that ranchers, tribes and conservationists are working together to restore bison as a part of a sustainable landscape, and a sustainable food system in North America.
We at The Bison Corral/Darrow Bison Range are honored to be part of the larger community bound by the heritage of the American bison.
