Roaming the Prairie
Enjoy the sights and sounds of the peaceful prairie near Val Marie, Sasketchewan, where a flourishing herd of nearly 200 bison roam the native prairie of Grasslands National Park.

Bison are North America's the largest indigenous land mammal. A keystone species, these wooly herbivores helped shaped the ecology of the Great Plains today.

Though 80% of Canada's native prairie has been lost, Grasslands National Park has the most intact example of what remains. It's also the only place in Canada where you can see the Black-tailed Prairie Dog and the Black-footed Ferret in their native habitat.

How do bison respond to seasonal change? The images and video captured during the nesting season are your springboard to research and discovery.
