Schnee's Supports RMEF


The Rocky Mountain Elk FoundationBy purchasing Schnee pac boots, you help pass on a lasting legacy of wildlife and habitat for future generations - because Schnee's contributes a portion of our proceeds to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation's elk country conservation projects.

The Elk Foundation is an international, mission based, nonprofit wildlife habitat conservation organization. With more than 150,000 members, the Elk Foundation has protected and enhanced more than 4.3 million acres of wildlife habitat throughout North America. Founded in 1984, the Elk Foundation is headquartered in Missoula, Montana with Canadian headquarters in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.

The Elk Foundation is represented in all 50 states, plus an international membership in Canada and 26 foreign countries. The Elk Foundation's notable success stems largely from its dedicated and enthusiastic membership, particularly the Foundation's local volunteer committee members who organize annual fundraising Big Game Banquets in their communities. Other forms of fundraising include the Habitat Partnership Program; Supporting and Life Memberships; the Annual Convention; and merchandise and royalty programs. The commitment to wildlife conservation and love of America's rich wildlife legacy are at the heart of what the founders of the Elk Foundation glimpsed upon establishing the organization.

The Elk Foundation meets its mission by funding the following types of efforts:
  • Habitat enhancement projects such as prescribed burns, noxious weed treatments and water developments;
  • Wildlife management projects such as elk transplants and population monitoring;
  • Research on elk and their habitat to provide wildlife managers with information needed to manage elk;
  • Conservation education programs to increase public awareness of the importance of wildlife and their habitat;
  • Land protection projects such as acquisitions and conservation easements; and
  • Hunting heritage projects to promote ethical hunting and ensure future hunting opportunities.
As we enter a new century of conservation, you can make a critical difference. Working together, we can leave a lasting legacy of wildlife and habitat for ourselves and future generations to care about and enjoy. Pass It On.
