Buddy Bison

Buddy Bison is your national park travel companion. He was made to get kids outside to enjoy nature and the park system. Take him with you to the parks and don't forget your camera!  Buddy has a carbineer so you can clip him onto your backpack and have him handy as you explore national parks, historical sites, and the great outdoors!

The official mascot of the National Park Trust has been inspiring kids from all over the country to get outside and explore our national parks. Sales of Buddy Bison help support the National Park Trust's efforts to connect students from low-income communities with meaningful park experiences.

After you get your own Buddy Bison, send photos of you and Buddy Bison as you explore national, state and local parks to buddy@buddybison.org.  You may get added to Buddy's map!
