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), 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.
