Prior to 1997, there were zero established, wild, free-ranging elk herds in the Appalachian Mountains, except in Pennsylvania. Today, there are growing elk numbers there and in Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation worked along state wildlife agencies to supply both funding and volunteer labor from local members in each of those states in support of the restoration and growth of elk herds across the Appalachian range.

Sagebrush ecosystems provide crucial habitat for many species of wildlife. But in some areas, like the often arid Modoc National Forest in northeastern California, an invasion of juniper trees and shrubs combined with decades of fire suppression not only choked out historic stretches of sagebrush but greatly inhibits the growth of perennial grasses and forbes. And that’s bad news for elk, mule deer, pronghorn and other forms of bird and mammal life. So in 2018, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation

Wisconsin has two distinct elk ranges. The Clam Lake Elk Range, the older of the two located in the northern part of the state, features the larger elk population and includes the 8,700-acre Kimberly Clark Wildlife Area. Just east of the Flambeau (FLAM’-bow) River State Forest, where elk were restored in 2017, the wildlife area provides important wildlife and riparian habitat. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation provided more than $23,000 in grant funding that leveraged an additional $101,000 from

Restoring Elk Country - Thompson Meadow Once a dry, eroded meadow in northern California’s Plumas National Forest, Thompson Meadow is flowing with life again. After erosion and the Dixie Fire devastated the area, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and partners rebuilt the stream, replanted native vegetation, and protected the habitat. Today, this 47-acre meadow is lush once more—and elk, bears, and other wildlife are already returning. If it helps elk, it helps all wildlife. Learn more at rmef.or

RESTORING ELK COUNTRY | Book Cliffs, UT | The Book Cliffs of eastern Utah are among the most remote, rugged and yet beautiful landscapes in the Lower 48. The high plateau region is migratory corridor for elk and mule deer but it’s also extremely dry because of prolonged drought leading to poor forage conditions and summer range. These conditions contributed to declining deer and elk populations over the years. In 2019, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation joined the Utah Division of Wildlife Resour
