Alaska Spends $4M to Redirect Bison

Alaska Fish and Game is pouring $4 million into a major bison habitat upgrade near Delta Junction, clearing 1,000 acres of trees, improving grazing land, and drilling new water sources to lure bison off private farms. Funded by $1 million from the state and $3 million in federal wildlife restoration dollars, the project aims to shift the herd’s behavior by making state land more attractive—with better food, water, and safety from crop damage. The effort, rooted in decades of bison presence since the 1920s, also supports sustainable hunting opportunities and habitat health, while an environmental review is ongoing with public input accepted until July 15.
