Event Description

Buffalo Mail Art Call

America’s last wild buffalo herd is in danger. The Yellowstone, Montana herd is both genetically and behaviorally unique, being the only herd with continuously wild ancestry from the days when 50 million buffalo migrated freely across the Great Plains. Today they are being killed because of the greed of beef ranchers.
