Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Giant Springs Chapter, Great Falls

The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has more than 500 chapters across the country. Chapters host annual events, including Big Game Banquets, to raise funds for conservation projects across elk country. The local Great Falls committee is the Giant Springs Chapter. The Giants Spring Chapter will be hosting its Big Game Banquet June 12, 2021. We need volunteers at the event to run raffles and games.  We are also seeking individuals to sit on the planning committee. You will learn to love RMEF and want to stay on the committee for many years. We may also do a hands on project in the Great Falls Region.

In 1984, four hunters from Northwest Montana recognized a handful of organizations doing great work for species like ducks, turkeys and upland birds. They also recognized there was no group dedicated to North America?s grandest big game animal, elk. In May of that year, they pooled their time, talent and resources and created the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, an organization dedicated to elk, elk hunting and the habitat they need to thrive. Since then, we?ve grown to over 184,000 members whose support has protected and enhanced more than 6 millions of acres of North American wildlife habitat. Hundreds of thousands of these acres were completely off-limits to the public. They are now open for all to hunt, fish and otherwise enjoy. We employ more than 120 people and boast more than 10,000 volunteers working through 500 chapters across the United States. From the most humble beginnings in 1984, the RMEF has risen to become one of the most effective and efficient conservation organizations in the United States. Today, working together with members, volunteers, and partners as Team Elk, the RMEF is striving to conserve the next million acres of elk country, and to be a strong voice for hunters, access, and wildlife management and conservation issues. The mission of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife, their habitat and our hunting heritage.
