The Banff Bison Project which aimed to reintroduce bison to their historic habitat range began 25 years ago. In 2017, a group of bison were transferred from Elk Island National Park, and have been thriving since their relocation! The herd is utilizing the landscape and adjusting to the presence of predators. The Project team are using the pilot project period to monitor environmental conditions in the area to see how bison affect the ecosystem.
