Bison Nation imagines a sustainable future for the Great Plains and prairie regions, from the prairie provinces of Canada to southern Texas, and from the edge of the Rockies to the shores of the Great Lakes. Our vision combines local food and energy systems based on appropriate technology with large-scale conservation of local ecosystems.

Imagine a vast network of public, private, and tribal lands covered in herds of bison and pronghorn, alive with the sounds of birds and insects, bright with hundreds of species of grasses and wildflowers.

Imagine wind turbines scattered on hillsides and ridges, powering farms, towns, and cities across the region and beyond.

Imagine hundreds of small, diverse family farms providing food and livelihoods for the surrounding countryside.

Imagine sustainably designed towns and cities connected with comfortable, efficient high speed rail, and lush with green spaces providing food, wood, water, and recreation for their inhabitants, human and wild.
