Lisa Anne Marie Selner nicknamed “Buffalo Annie” has been working in the field of Wildlife Conservation since her college years. Having gained field experiences with federal and state agencies, tribal programs, and private entities in the American West and along the eastern coast, including her home state of Connecticut, Lisa has embarked on many adventures with buffalo (bison), black bears, black-footed ferrets (an endangered species of the prairie), coyote, elk, fox, mountain lions, wild horses, and so fourth. Her journeys have brought her to remote and rugged areas of the mountains, prairies and woodlands, and have provided experiences filled with culture, history & outdoor adventure!
So where did the nickname “Buffalo Annie” come from? While working as a wildlife field biologist for a Lakota Sioux tribe in South Dakota, Lisa also assisted with numerous tribal buffalo roundups on the reservation. The nickname transpired when the roundup crew came up with a creative combination of Annie Oakley’s shooting abilities and Lisa’s interest in buffalo.
Lisa continues with her passions in the wildlife field and looks forward to future career goals and travels.
