RMEF strongly opposes sale of federal public land

| June 24, 2025 7:00 AM

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation strongly opposes a measure placed in the budget reconciliation bill that calls for the sale of 2 to 3 million acres of Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service land.

“RMEF opposes the large-scale transfer or sale of federal public lands,” said RMEF President and CEO Kyle Weaver. “Further, RMEF adamantly opposes the current backdoor attempt in Congress to erase existing law that affords transparency and  opportunity for public input prior to the sale or transfer of any federal public land.”

An RMEF delegation is active on Capitol Hill, working with lawmakers as recently as last week. It also shared concerns with Senate leadership earlier this month as it did with U.S. House members in May.
