Governor Gianforte Praises BLM Decision to Cancel American Prairie Reserve Bison Permits

[Historic NY]

5. Bison grazing is restoring the plains

Unlike cattle they move around over large areas

A low rustle rises from the grass, then a rolling murmur like distant surf. On the horizon, dark shapes appear, swelling into a moving wall of muscle and horn. This used to be corn and soy, sliced into neat rectangles by tractors. Today, more than 50,000 bison are flowing across former prairies in the U.S. and Canada, heavy hooves sinking into soil that once lay hard as concrete.

Dust hangs in the air. Calves kick and stumble. Adults move with that slow, ancient confidence, pausing to tear at tough native grasses that almost vanished a century ago. Somewhere behind a fence, a rancher leans on a gate and shakes his head, half amazed, half wary. The bison don’t care about his doubts. Their weight is pressing a new story into the ground.

And the soil is starting to answer.
