Greetings from Buffalo Nations. Its official. Buffalo Nations has just opened their second office in West Yellowstone.

Winter has already started to show itself. Four bull buffalo have crossed the park boundary and could be in trouble soon. We have tried to haze them back to the park but they keep coming back out. At the moment we only have two dedicated activists at each office (Gardiner and West Yellowstone).

With all of the winter chores-- gathering at least 12 cords of wood, canning food, setting up a tepee for a field camp and winterizing the cabin--there's not much time to watch over the buffalo. That's right. We need more people ASAP!!! We offer free food and lodging for any activists that care enough to help. Yellowstone is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and if you have never seen it, NOW IS YOUR BIG CHANCE.

Remember West Yellowstone is more often than not the coldest town in the lower 48 states (don't let that scare you, we are great fire builders). Bring all your warm clothes and a winter sleeping bag. We also encourage people to bring snowshoes and/or cross-country skis to help patrol the borders of the park.

If this sounds like a winter dream vacation to you, please contact Mike or Jeremy at:
