Hunting Is Conservation - Hunting Funds Elk Restoration

The last wild, free-ranging elk disappeared in West Virginia in about 1875. 130 years later, the state launched two studies, paid for by the hunter-based Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, to determine whether elk restoration was feasible and to determine social tolerance. Beginning in 2015, the state worked with RMEF, The Conservation Fund and others via land purchases, permanent access easements and land leases to create more than 44,000 acres for elk to roam in the far southwest corner of the state.

Coos County - onX Public Access Project

Call it a ‘two birds with one stone’ kind of conservation victory just off the Oregon coast. In 2019, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, onX and Leupold provided $75,000 in grant funding to ensure that Coos County could maintain forest and meadows for wildlife habitat, timber production and grazing on the County’s recently acquired 760-acre Seven Devils tract. Located 225 miles southwest of Portland near the coastal town of Charleston, local officials wanted to provide more land for its residents to use and enjoy.

Blackfoot Watershed Habitat Enhancement, Montana - Restoring Elk Country

The Blackfoot-Clearwater Wildlife Management Area focused on enhancing winter forage quantity and quality by thinning overstocked and beetle-killed trees within a swath of grassland and bordering aspen stands. RMEF funds went toward removing young ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir that both clogged up the forest floor and served as dangerous ladder fuels for potential large wildfires. The resulting treatment greatly enhanced elk forage, reduced the possibility of pine beetle infestation and improved overall forest health.
