Lamar Buffalo Ranch

Описание: Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley is known worldwide for its breathtaking beauty and abundant wildlife. The Lamar River meanders through the valley complemented by cottonwood and aspen trees, and a dazzling array of lakes, creeks, and ponds. Such is the setting of the Lamar Buffalo Ranch (LBR).

The Ranch was established in 1915 to preserve Yellowstone’s bison after they had been hunted to near extinction. From about two dozen to now many thousands, the recovery of the American bison is one of the great conservation success stories of the past century.

Today, LBR serves as the Lamar Ranger Station and a base camp for education programs for both Yellowstone National Park and Yellowstone Forever. The historic, multi-use facility includes two ranger cabins, a corral, barn, main “bunk house,” and sixteen total cabins for participants and volunteers.

From wildlife watching to photography, art programs, and beyond, Yellowstone Forever has had the good fortune to host overnight Institute programs and Field Seminars out of the Ranch for decades.

The park utilizes the Ranch for the award-winning Expedition Yellowstone program, a multi-day experiential program for school groups: https://www.yellowstone.org/expeditio....

With solar arrays, a micro hydro turbine, and other energy efficiencies, LBR runs completely on renewable energy and remains off-the-grid. These improvements are thanks to numerous partnerships and gifts of in-kind technologies and industry expertise.

A symbol for conservation, a one-of-a-kind classroom, a model of sustainability and stewardship, and providing for the park’s critical resource management needs, the Lamar Buffalo Ranch has it all. We hope you’ll take the opportunity to come see for yourself on one of our many programs! Learn more and register at https://www.yellowstone.org/experienc....
