Bison in Theodore Roosevelt National Park
USGS researchers and collaborators are currently studying the grazing behavior of bison in Theodore Roosevelt National Park to determine the effects of ungulates on vegetation in the park. These studies will support park managers in maintaining healthy bison herds, conserving critical habitat, and sustaining outdoor recreation.
