Good Shield and Phoenix After Buffalo performing to explain the importance of the Buffalo to the first Nations!
Co-Founder and campaign coordinator of the Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC) Mike Mease will show a video, tell stories and answer questions about America's last wild and pure Buffalo. These sacred animals are being killed and tortured with your tax payer dollars and the BFC fights against this injustice. The show will have two incredible native musicians Good S
hield and Phoenix After Buffalo performing to explain the importance of the Buffalo to the first Nations. A night not to be missed.
The Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC) is the only group working in the field, everyday, to stop the slaughter and harassment of Yellowstone's wild buffalo. Volunteers from around the world defend buffalo on their traditional winter habitat and advocate for their protection. Our daily patrols stand with the buffalo on the ground they choose to be on, and document every move made against them.
Volunteers spend all day, from sunrise until sunset, watching and documenting actions taken against the buffalo. We run patrols from cars, skis and snowshoes to protect buffalo outside the park. Tactics range from video documentation to nonviolent civil disobedience.
BFC enjoys incredible support and participation from the local community. Residents allow us to post signs on their property designating them as "Buffalo Safe Zones." We offer a fence repair service to mitigate damage caused by wildlife. Locals join us on our daily rounds, and many support our patrols with hot drinks and food.
All of our work happens because people are willing to take a break from their usual schedules and come help. Over 3000 people from all over the country and around the world have joined us in our log cabin on Hebgen Lake to help stop the buffalo slaughter. We feed and house all our volunteers in our cabin and Gardner satellite camp. (See news article- 4/24/03- Earth Day heroes: Amani Hays). Volunteers patrol for buffalo by skis, snowshoes, or cars. Everyone communicates by a network of hand-held radios, and also carries a video camera.
Our office runs outreach programs, including slide and video presentations, summer tabling in Yellowstone Park, website and e-mail updates, and national media coverage through press releases and video.

Mission- To stop the slaughter of Yellowstone's wild buffalo herd, protect the natural habitat of wild free-roaming buffalo and native wildlife, and to work with people of all Nations to honor the sacredness of the wild buffalo.
Core Values- Sustainability, Community, Education, Wildlife, Co-existence, Ecology/Phenology, Environmental Activism, Preservation, Sound Science, Respect, Integrity, Honor, Spirituality, Creativity, Fun, Not bound by convention, Non-violence, Open Communications, and Honor all cultures and celebrate diversity
