Review & FAQ:

Dedicated to preserving Canada’s last wood bison, the Wood Buffalo National Park is the world’s largest dark sky preserve and was established in 1922. The park is arguably one of the most successful preservation efforts in the world for both plant and animal species, and encompasses huge segments of sedge meadows and pristine, undisturbed grasslands. Wood Buffalo National Park is home to the largest remaining heard of wood bison, an endangered species with less than 1,000 wild animals left by the time the 1900s rolled around. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the nation’s largest park and is also home to the world’s largest inland delta, which is located at the banks of the Peace and Athabasca rivers.
