Wood Bison have returned to Alaska.
Help us tell their story.
Our Mission
Our latest project from Sandcrane Hill Productions follows the remarkable resurgence of wood bison in interior Alaska’s Innoko Valley. This species was nearly lost from the continent in the 20th century, and its ongoing restoration offers a powerful story of conservation in action. We travel to these relocation sites to film these animals and the organizations that continue to support them.
Your support helps us bring this field-based work to viewers who care about wildlife, ecosystems, and the future of wild places.
The Film’s Impact
The finished documentary will:
Document wood bison in their ancestral landscape
Highlight the people and science behind the reintroduction effort
Share a conservation success story that raise awareness and inspire the public to support Wood Bison conservation throughout Alaska
We plan to submit the film to festivals that reach both conservation professionals and general audiences, including the Wildlife Conservation Film Festival, Anchorage International Film Festival, Banff Mountain Film Festival, and Wildscreen Film Festival.
