The National Park Service at the Grand Canyon is planning for their first controlled bison hunt to reduce the House Rock bison herd by more than half. Problem is they are finding ecological impacts with deforestation and water pollution. Rnagers have take photos of roughly 600 bison currently in the herd and if left to mother nature they would likely increase to as much as 1,500 in the next 10 years.
A pool of 25 qualified applicants will be selected and then 12 people will be chosen by random lottery to participate in the hunt. The application process closed this week after the Park service received over 45,000 applications! Get more info here

The Lancaster Conservancy recently preserved 270 acres of forested land in Lower Chanceford Township, York County, creating a new nature preserve. It will be named for the Reist family that has owned the tract for more than 100 years.
The new Reist Nature Preserve connects to a 1,000-acre-plus corridor of Susquehanna Riverlands, contiguously protected natural lands that include Susquehannock State Park, State Game Lands 181 and Brookfield Renewable land donated to the Conservancy as part of a large landscape protection effort.
It includes an important part of the viewshed across Lake Aldred from popular Conservancy preserves like Tucquan Glen & Pyfer, House Rock, Reed Run and Pinnacle Overlook.
