In August this year, I was lucky enough to spend three days with American Prairie in Eastern Montana. The temperature climbed to 102 degrees while I was there. Plagues of grasshoppers splattered themselves on the car grille. I went to the prairie to look at the effect of bison on creeks in the mid-summer heat. It turns out these enormous beasts with thick brown fur have a big advantage over cattle when it comes to maintaining stream health.
The story was published by the BBC today. “Why Grazing Bison Could be Good for the Planet.”
Enjoy!
