Plains Bison - Prince Albert

Annual aerial surveys are conducted along transects in late February to monitor the size of the Sturgeon River Plains Bison population, one of the few wild populations remaining in North America. This species is a key grazer of grasslands and a unique part of regional biodiversity in and around the south-west corner of Prince Albert National Park. Plains bison are a threatened species under the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC).
