Baby bison born

Also this sum­mer a female baby was born on our wild bison pas­ture. Thanks to the care­ful and self-sac­ri­­fic­ing care of farmer Nor­bert Meene, it sur­vived the first, some­times dif­fi­cult days of life and is doing well. A vis­it to the bison pas­ture these days is dou­bly worthwhile.

The next bison tour and feed­ing will take place on Fri­day, Sep­tem­ber 28, 2018 at 5:00 p.m. The meet­ing point is at the main entrance to Criewen Cas­tle. Of course you can also vis­it the bison on your own, but then they usu­al­ly don’t come that close to the fence.

Under no cir­cum­stances should the bison be fed. This leads to ill­ness and some­times death. Wisents only eat grass, includ­ing leaves, twigs and bark, but no human food, espe­cial­ly not waste. Please show con­sid­er­a­tion for the health of the animals.

And one more invi­ta­tion. Any­one who wants to know more about the bison is cor­dial­ly invit­ed to Con­fer­ence “Wisents on Wild Pas­ture — Species Con­ser­va­tion and Ecol­o­gy” from 27.09.–28.09.2018 in the Bran­den­burg Acad­e­my “Schloss Criewen” . The inter­na­tion­al bison experts meet here to exchange expe­ri­ences. The con­gress will be trans­lat­ed simul­ta­ne­ous­ly into Ger­man, Pol­ish and English.

Please reg­is­ter by email to Ms. U. Böhme ().

Wel­come!
