Lend your voice to changing the Custer Gallatin National Forest land management plan. Deadline no later than Tuesday, September 8.

The Custer Gallatin National Forest, adjacent to Yellowstone, recently issued decisions denying American bison habitat protections they badly need. It's important that the Yellowstone Bison have these protections as they roam National Forests adjacent to Yellowstone National Park.

Forest Supervisor Mary C. Erickson must include standards conserving American bison habitat in the Custer Gallatin National Forest land management plan.

American bison also need to be listed as a species of conservation concern in the Forest Service’s Northern Region, a designation denied to them by Regional Forester Leanne M. Marten.

We strongly encourage you to send a personal message, no later than Tuesday, September 8, to the people responsible for providing habitat for migratory American bison on our National Forests.

You can find more information on the importance of National Forest habitat for American bison on the Buffalo Field Campaign web page: https://www.buffalofieldcampaign.org/species-of-conservation-concern
