Description

Pictured here are bison grazing at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge in Denver, Colorado. The city of Denver and the Rocky Mountains can be seen in the background. This wildlife refuge is one of the largest urban refuges in the country. Located just northeast of Denver, Rocky Mountain Arsenal is a 15,000-acre expanse of prairie, wetland and woodland habitat. It has transitioned from farmland, to war-time manufacturing site, to wildlife sanctuary. The refuge is a sanctuary for more than 330 species of animals, including bison, deer, coyotes, bald eagles and burrowing owls.

Bison were introduced experimentally at the arsenal in 2007 and thrived. Short-grass prairie has been irrigated to help sustain the animals. Each bison eats about 50 pounds of grass a day. Roundup and culling is seen as necessary intervention because the bison are multiplying too fast. 27 bison will be cut from the arsenal herd of 87 to avoid degrading the prairie. The federal biologists say they must reduce the herd to 60 bison for now to avoid exhausting the prairie, where the bison roam across a 2,600-acre fenced area. Over the next few years, managers plan to create a 12,000-acre fenced area, enabling a herd of 210 bison.
