Saskatchewan was once home to multitudes of plains bison, roaming wild and free across this prairie province’s native grasslands. But did you know that a wild herd of plains bison still calls this province home?

One of only two wild, unfenced and free-roaming plains bison herds within this species’ original Canadian range, the Sturgeon River plains bison herd (SRPBH) inhabits the sedge meadows and fescue grasslands of southwestern Prince Albert National Park (PANP). 

Mia Nemeth will discuss how (under the supervision of Dr. Clinton Westman) she gained insight into the diverse perspectives, interests, and concerns influencing the SRPBH’s stewardship.

By overviewing her numerous land-based encounters, in-depth interviews, informal conversations, and the quantitative survey used, she aims to emphasize local perspectives and community insights and highlight how this research can help ensure that future collaborative stewardship is effective, representative, and reconciliation minded.
