Since its beginnings in the mid-1980s, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation now has more than 225,000 members whose support helped complete nearly 14,000 conservation and hunting heritage outreach projects that protected or enhanced more than 8.6 million acres of wildlife habitat and opened or improved public access to more than 1.5 million acres, much of which was completely off-limits to the public. RMEF boasts more than 12,000 volunteers working through more than 500 chapters.
Today, RMEF is one of the most effective and efficient conservation organizations in the United States. Working together with members, volunteers and conservation partners, it is a strong voice for elk, elk country, hunters and public access as well as wildlife management and conservation issues.
