Since 1984, RMEF has focused on conserving or enhancing over 8 million acres of prime elk habitat in North America. Their efforts aim to sustain and improve the conditions of wildlife habitats, ensuring the preservation and appreciation of elk country.
The State Grant Program by RMEF champions the causes of hunting heritage and conservation outreach. It is designed to educate the public on the historical and ongoing significance of hunting as a conservation tool, while also promoting hunting and other outdoor activities. By acknowledging hunters and anglers as pivotal conservation allies, the grant supports initiatives that include, but are not limited to, outdoor skills workshops, conservation education events, mentored hunting opportunities, and broader outreach efforts. This program underscores the belief that hunting plays a crucial role in conservation and aims to sustain and nurture this tradition.
