The Fermilab bison herd is a group of American bison that resides at Fermilab, a national laboratory for particle physics located in Batavia, Illinois. The bison are part of a conservation effort and are integral to the lab's landscape and ecology. Fermilab's connection to bison dates back to the early 2000s when the lab acquired the herd to help with land management and to restore a portion of the site to its natural prairie ecosystem.
