BIG RIVER CHAPTER
ROCKY MOUNTAIN ELK FOUNDATION
The Big River Chapter would like to thank all who have supported the Big River
Chapter since its creation in 2005! Through two successful Big Game banquets the
chapter was able to raise over $17,000 for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation's
mission: to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife and their habitat. Sadly,
the chapter will be closing this year due to dwindling volunteers and
participants at our fund raising banquets.
ABOUT THE BIG RIVER CHAPTER
The Big River Chapter was named after the near by Big River Wildlife Management Area.
A landmark milestone was reached for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) with the issuance of a chapter charter early in 2005, the Big River Chapter based in Coventry, Rhode Island marked the last of the 50 states to have a RMEF chapter.
RMEF MISSION
The mission of the Elk Foundation is to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife and their habitat.
In support of this mission the Elk Foundation is committed to:
- Conserving, restoring and enhancing natural habitats;
- Promoting the sound management of wild, free-ranging elk, which may be hunted or otherwise enjoyed;
- Fostering cooperation among federal, state and private organizations and individuals in wildlife management and habitat conservation; and
- Educating members and the public about habitat conservation, the value of hunting, hunting ethics and wildlife management.
