Elk Foundation surpasses 9 million acres of conservation work
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation enters the new year having just eclipsed the nine-million-acre mark of conserved or enhanced habitat over its 40-year history, including some memorable and noteworthy 2024 accomplishments.
“Nine million acres equates to almost one square mile of habitat conserved every day by RMEF over our four-decade existence, and all for the benefit of elk, mule deer, moose, other wildlife species, hunting and conservation,” said RMEF President and CEO Kyle Weaver. “That is a remarkable achievement with immense credit going to our members, volunteers, partners and all of our other supporters.”
In 2024 alone, RMEF conserved or enhanced more than 203,000 acres of wildlife habitat, opened or improved public access to nearly 22,000 acres, advocated for mission priorities and supported wildlife management and research, while promoting hunting across the nation.
