The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation collaborated with a landowner and the U.S. Forest Service to acquire and convey 396 acres of habitat within a southwest Montana wildlife migration route and convey it to the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. 

As a result, the habitat is now protected and public access is greatly improved to adjacent public land.

The property is on the northwest end of the Tobacco Root Mountains near the town of Whitehall.
