For more than a quarter of a century, the Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC) has been working in the Greater Yellowstone Bioregion to protect the last wild, free-ranging herd of bison in the United States. Although the nearly 3500 square miles of Yellowstone National Park offer some protections, even that expanse is not enough to offer sufficient winter forage for the Park’s herds of deer, elk, moose, and a bison population that ranges between 3,000 and 6,000 animals.  

Prolific journalist and author John Edward Bruce laid in an unmarked grave at Oakland Cemetery in Yonkers for 100 years. The James H. Farrell Lodge #34, Prince Hall Masons, recognized the injustice of this important, talented man going unrecognized; they arranged to have a temporary marker placed on his grave.  The lodge is now raising funds for a permanent stone.
