23,000 Acres. Conserved Forever.
The second-largest mule deer herd in Nevada, along with elk, moose, pronghorns and other wildlife, depend on a 23,000-acre property known as Windermere Hills in Elko County for survival. Windermere Hills is part of a working ranch named as a conservation priority for Pequop Mountains mule deer by the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW). An RMEF-led land conservation and access project conserves this property and its habitat forever and opens it, along with 47,000 checkerboard private and public acres, to hunting and other outdoor recreation.
Nevada native and RMEF OutdoorClass expert Remi Warren tells the project’s story in the four-part docuseries, “A Win for Windermere.” Watch to learn how commitment and cooperation from RMEF, a conservation-minded landowner, NDOW and other partners not only protects a vital migration corridor for mule deer in Nevada, but also solves a complicated access problem for hunters.
