LAND CONSERVATION & ACCESS

For hunters, anglers and others who enjoy experiencing the outdoors first-hand, it means everything. Quality access means quality hunting opportunity.

Opening and improving public access is at the core of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation’s mission. Since its establishment in 1984, RMEF and its partners opened or improved access to more than 1.5 million acres of elk habitat. In 2022, RMEF and the U.S. Forest Service worked with a willing landowner to conserve two private inholdings of wildlife habitat and convey them to the Lolo National Forest. In addition to providing prime habitat for elk, deer, bears and other wildlife, the two parcels feature key riparian habitat since more than one mile of Bear Creek, Camp Creek and Sleeman Creek, all headwater streams and tributaries of Lolo Creek below, cross the property. The transaction protects these spawning and rearing areas for native westslope cutthroat trout and other fish species. The properties are also within or next to important segments of the Lewis and Clark and Nez Perce National Historical Trails.
