LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - A new female bison has joined the herd at the Pioneers Park Nature Center.

Lincoln Parks and Recreation said Thursday that the bison was donated by the Crane Trust.

The bison was born in 2018. After her mother chose to care only for her twin brother, the bison was moved to the Crane Trust headquarters near Wood River to be raised.

The bison’s latest move comes as the trust works to expand grazing opportunities for additional reproductive females.

“This new bison will give visitors even more chances to appreciate and learn about the majestic American bison,” Nature Center Coordinator Jamie Kelley said.

Kelley said the center is able to grow the herd and continue to care for the bison through collaboration and partnerships.
