The Wyoming Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is about 13,000 acres shy of reaching 1 million conserved acres for elk in the state. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has existed for about 28 years and has conserved 6 million acres nationwide. Ryan Kaiser, Wyoming's regional director of the elk foundation says that Wyoming will be first state to reach a million acres within a single state. If all the contracts the foundation has with BLM and Wyoming Game and Fish go through, Kaiser thinks the state will surpass 1 million acres by the end of summer. He says conserving land helps improve habitat for elk and other wildlife, which also helps the population grow.
