About Buddy Bison
Since 2009, Buddy Bison has been the official mascot of the National Park Trust’s Buddy Bison School Program. This woolly, lovable Bison was selected to represent the Park Trust out of pride for our parks- the American bison is an ecologically important national park resident and our national mammal. Buddy Bison’s mission is to help encourage kids and their families to “explore outdoors, the parks are yours!”
