Description

Bison once roamed Florida, but the population didn’t survive human expansion. When Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park became Florida’s first state preserve, bison were brought from Oklahoma to bring the preserve back to the way it would have looked in the past.

“I'd been hiking this park weekly hoping to see the bison. I had no idea bison roamed Florida until a couple years after moving to Gainesville. This was the first time I saw them - very special!!”
