NATIONAL BISON DAY
Saturday, November 7th
12:00pm - 4:00pm
Celebrate National Bison Day at the Bergen County Zoo! This event is free with zoo admission! We are proud to welcome active members of the Unkechaug and Ramapough nations to discuss the history and cultural significance of the American bison.
National Bison Day honors the American bison which was officially designated as the U.S. national mammal. This day celebrates the ecological, cultural, and economic role of bison, which are deeply tied to the history and spiritual traditions of Native American tribes.
We are also proud to be part of AZA SAFE: American Bison, which works to preserve this keystone species and its environment.
Don't forget to say hello to our resident female bison, Betty & Bess! We’ll see you there!
