Carve out the SE corner of Minnesota, SW Wisconsin, and NE Iowa. Bang: you got Driftless National Park
Oh my god, yes! A plan ready to go! If we could make Driftless National Park a thing we could reintroduce bison west of the Mississippi!
I cannot upvote this enough. What a great investment in our future.
Whelp, whoever was pushing for Driftless gave up. The usual "we don't want the government to come in here and tell us what to do" fears killed it. :(
