About: Bison Range

An Entity of Type: place, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Bison Range (BR) is a nature reserve on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana established for the conservation of American bison. Formerly called the National Bison Range, the size of the bison herd at the BR is 350 adult bison and welcomes between 50-60 calves per year. Established as a National Wildlife Refuge in 1908, the BR consists of approximately 18,524 acres (7,496 ha) within the Montana valley and foothill grasslands. The management was transferred back to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes in 2022 from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service after more than a century of federal management and nearly two decades of negotiations.

dbo:abstract
  • The Bison Range (BR) is a nature reserve on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana established for the conservation of American bison. Formerly called the National Bison Range, the size of the bison herd at the BR is 350 adult bison and welcomes between 50-60 calves per year. Established as a National Wildlife Refuge in 1908, the BR consists of approximately 18,524 acres (7,496 ha) within the Montana valley and foothill grasslands. The management was transferred back to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes in 2022 from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service after more than a century of federal management and nearly two decades of negotiations. The BR has a visitor center, and two scenic roads that allow vehicular access to prime viewing areas. The range is approximately one hour north of Missoula, Montana, off of U.S. Highway 93 directing visitors to the entrance at Moiese, Montana, and the range headquarters. (en)
  • Le National Bison Range (NBR) est un refuge national de faune situé dans l'ouest du Montana créé en 1908 pour fournir un sanctuaire au bison américain. Le NBR est l'un des plus anciens refuges nationaux de faune aux États-Unis. La taille du troupeau de bisons de la NBR est relativement petite, comptant entre 350 et 500 individus. Le troupeau initial de bisons d'Amérique a été fourni par des organisations telles que l'American Bison Society, et aujourd'hui le refuge sert de point central pour la recherche sur les bisons aux États-Unis. La NBR comprend environ 76 km² et est géré par le US Fish and Wildlife Service. D'autres refuges nationaux de faune à proximité sont gérés comme faisant partie du complexe national de la chaîne de bisons et comprennent le Lost Trail, Ninepipe, Pablo et les refuges nationaux de faune de Swan River. Le District de gestion des zones humides du nord-ouest du Montana y est également affilié. (fr)
