RMEF funds projects in Shoshone, Kootenai Counties

MISSOULA –– The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and its vast array of partners have supplied $4,197,169 to improve wildlife habitat throughout Idaho. The allotment also supports wildlife management efforts, youth archery and trap shooting programs, and mentored hunting and educational conservation programs. 

“These 28 projects stretch across the state and enhance more than 80,000 acres of habitat for elk, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, sage grouse and many other wildlife species. That’s good news for animals and the landscapes they rely on,” said Jameson Sharp, RMEF regional director for southern Idaho. 

RMEF allotted $472,596 which helped leverage $3,724,573 in partner funding.
