Adopt-A-Bison and Support Conservation Efforts at Wind Cave National Park

Bring the spirit of the Great Plains into your home with the Adopt-A-Bison Bison Calf Plush, a cuddly reminder of your contribution to preserving one of North America’s most genetically pure bison herds. For just $35, you’ll receive an adorable plush bison calf while directly supporting vital conservation initiatives at Wind Cave National Park.

How Your Adoption Makes a Difference

Your adoption helps fund critical research and conservation programs, like the purchase of GPS tracking collars for park biologists to study bison migration patterns. Since the program’s inception in 2017, we’ve raised nearly $130,000 for bison conservation, helping to ensure the herd’s health and their thriving presence on the plains.

What You’ll Receive

When you adopt, you become a part of an impactful program. Your $35 adoption package includes:

  • A soft, high-quality bison calf plush.
  • The satisfaction of knowing $20 from your adoption directly supports conservation.
  • Access to exclusive updates about the program and its impact.

Help Us Tell the Story of the Herd

Funds from the Adopt-A-Bison program have already helped create the Bison Story Map, an engaging tool that showcases migration patterns and family dynamics within the herd. Your support contributes to future projects, like installing monitors in the Wind Cave Visitor Center to display real-time data about the bison herd’s movements.

A Gift That Gives Back

Looking for a meaningful gift for the nature lover in your life? This adoption package is perfect for all ages, blending a charming keepsake with a deeper purpose: supporting the conservation of a national treasure.
