Every wild Buffalo calf deserves the chance to grow up free.
This August, you can help make that possible by joining Buffalo Field Campaign for a minimum two-week volunteer commitment in Yellowstone National Park.
As a volunteer, you'll:
- Table and engage with park visitors
- Educate the public about America's last continuously wild Buffalo
- Help build support for protecting Yellowstone's iconic bison
- Spend your days immersed in one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world
Whether you're passionate about wildlife, conservation, Indigenous stewardship, or simply want to make a meaningful difference, we'd love to have you join our herd.
Together, we can give Yellowstone's wild Buffalo a stronger future.

More information...
Summer Volunteers must be comfortable with public speaking and educating visitors to Yellowstone in a polite and professional manner. All volunteers will be trained on everything they need to know with an orientation program, and paired with an experienced team member to help express the information to visitors.
Volunteering during our Summer Season is an amazing way to experience Yellowstone. Under direction of the Summer Volunteer Coordinator, volunteers will camp and operate an educational table in the National Park. A typical schedule consists of 5 work days and 2 days off per week. Tabling shifts are usually 4 hours.
This leaves plenty of free time to explore the park and experience this unique ecosystem.
During August tabling crews will be based at BFC headquarters and travel into the park each day. Our main cabin is equipped with comfortable bunks and a fully equipped kitchen. All chores such as cooking and cleaning are shared equally amongst the volunteers and the summer coordinator.
Basecamp is located near the shores of Hebgen Lake, our cabins have a wonderful view of the Madison Mountain Range out front, with the Gallatin National Forest and Mount Hebgen in our backyard. Volunteers have the opportunity to spend their free time swimming, hiking, sightseeing, whitewater rafting, wildlife viewing, and much, much more.
We are happy to work with students on internship opportunities as well. Please join us and stand with the last wild buffalo!
