Soon, you might spy bison grazing in a Metro Park on what's left of the western Franklin County prairie.
Franklin County Metro Parks is considering bringing bison to either its Prairie Oaks or Battelle-Darby Creek parks by 2010, Executive Director John O'Meara said.

THAT is way cool.
And in several years when they need to thin the herds to keep them healthy they can either reintroduce large predators (which would be the definition of awesome) or help out the mid ohio food bank (which would also be awesome).
I am excited beyond my capacity with language to express.

Do it up, do it up, WAAAAAAY UP!!
Now let's get some more grassland going, too. Did you know that this part of Ohio was one of the farthest eastern permutations of American prairie? Ohio was mostly wooded, except for a few patches in our area. Lucky us!
Bring back some bison!! And let us eat them, too.

I was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay excited when I read this (via the e-dition of The Dispatch which I am also excited by) beacuse it is wonderful that they are trying such high profile, eco-friendly, sustainable ways to bring the parks back to life and in the forefront of the public mind!! :D
I can't wait!!
Makes me want to sing Great White Buffalo... :lol:

This is cool...and would feel much more natural than seeing bison in Golden Gate Park.
