In 1984, four elk hunters in northwest Montana officially founded the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage.
“Our founders and their families had a vision and sacrificed much to establish this conservation movement that has made and continues to make tremendous positive impacts on elk, wildlife habitat, hunting and conservation,” said Mark Baker, RMEF Board of Directors’ chair.
“While we pause for a moment to recognize past accomplishments and honor those who got us to where we are today, we look to the horizon to further our mission by continuing to evolve and improve as an organization,” said Kyle Weaver, RMEF president and CEO. “And we invite all to join us.”
