Welcome North Texas Elk Enthusiasts!
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is committed to preserving the habitat and expanding the range of North America's most magnificent creatures. Through the fund raising activities of local chapters, RMEF has undertaken conservation efforts on more than six million acres of prime habitat for winter feeding, spring calving grounds, summer retreats and seasonal migration routes. These efforts are focused on the needs of elk, but provide substantial benefits to all mountain wildlife. RMEF has also worked closely with state fish and game departments to re-introduce elk into parts of the country that have not had natural, free ranging elk populations in more than a hundred years.
