Frank, thank you for stopping by. I’m inspired by the work that you and Deborah have done and believe the details for the Rutgers site are a valuable addition to the piece.

I do link to the Great Plains Restoration Council in the piece – I give this link for the Buffalo Commons: http://www.gprc.org/buffalocommons.html.

I also tried to link to the original academic paper by you and your wife, but the link on the http://www.gprc.org site seemed to be broken.

Anyone interested in more information about the Buffalo Commons should look at my Rutgers website, policy.rutgers.edu/faculty/popper. I and my wife Deborah Popper, a geographer and the College of Staten Island/City University of New York and Princeton, originated the Buffalo Commons idea. I am on the board of the only national group specifically devoted to achieving it, the Great Plains Restoration Council, which works in Colorado, South Dakota and Texas. Its website is gprc.org and its president is Jarid Manos, greatplains@gprc.org.
