Buffalo Country:
The US National Mammal is a symbol of power and fragility that has shaped the American West for millennia. Bison thrive in fierce cold and sweltering sun, and once occupied the American West by the tens of millions. Yet these seemingly invincible creatures narrowly escaped extinction just a century ago, and they face many new threats today. We'll dive into the fascinating life history and ecology of the bison, then follow the herd as it roams in search of a physical, spiritual, and legal home in our modern landscape and society. And of course, we will meet the many birds who spend their days among the herd.

Sean Beckett has been guiding wildlife photography expeditions in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks for a decade with Natural Habitat Adventures and the World Wildlife Fund. Here in Vermont, he directs natural history programming at North Branch Nature Center, including NBNC's Adventures Afar excursions. His happy place lies somewhere at the intersection of large animals, beautiful photographs, and shared experiences with fellow nature lovers.
