A Growing Organization

The Montana Wild Bison Restoration Coalition is a grassroots organization, recognizing the absence of wild bison in Montana, disseminating information on issues and opportunities for bison restoration, and promoting the return of wild, public bison to the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge and to nearby, mostly contiguous private and public lands where bison are accepted. We also believe that our last wild herd that comes out of Yellowstone National Park should be able to go our public lands.

The organization was founded by Dr. Jim Bailey, retired professor of wildlife biology and management at Colorado State University coordinates Coalition activities. He authored American Plains Bison: Rewilding an Icon, published by Sweetgrass Books, Helena, MT. Sadly, Jim passed away on May 30, 2023.
