As Wood Bison project ramps up, TCC reaffirms opposition

to barge an estimated amount of 70 Wood Bison , up the Tanana River this summer, but not everyone’s on

Biologists released a herd in 2015 in the Innoko area, the first of its kind in over 100 years. But the herd is struggling, plummeting to its lowest-ever number after 2022′s ice-heavy winter, impacting their ability to access food. Wood Bison Project Biologist Tom Seaton said the selection of that land followed a public planning process that included Tribes and native corporations, among others. “They all send representatives to these planning team meetings, and then we ... get input from them, and that kind of guides the restoration process,” Seaton told Newscenter Fairbanks.

The March measure contended the decade-old environmental assessment backing the project needs revamping. The resolution also cited poor management of existing populations in the area and a lack of tribal consultation prior to the decision. Nenana Native Association and Manley Traditional Council had submitted the measure for consideration.

“The weather has to play into your management. You can’t just say a get out of jail free card on this one,” Ridley said. “To put 100 animals out there and say, ‘well, they might all die,’ that just doesn’t seem like a sound management decision.”
