Turner’s vision extends beyond ecological restoration; it integrates profitability to ensure long-term sustainability. His co-founded Ted’s Montana Grill exemplifies this synergy by creating a thriving market for bison meat, revitalizing the species and funding further conservation. Bison are raised with minimal environmental impact, and their meat—rich in nutrients—offers a healthier alternative to beef.
With over 40 restaurants serving more than 50 million bison meals, this model exemplifies how commerce can support ecological revival. Their success affirms that conservation and business can be mutually reinforcing rather than mutually exclusive.
