“This is the latest example of RMEF’s work with partners to protect a key elk migration route where butterflies are also known to migrate. The project is built on RMEF and WDFW’s history of securing quality public access in the East Slope of the Cascades,” said Jennifer Doherty, RMEF director of lands.

Hunters deserve to be proud of their contributions to wildlife, habitat and resource conservation.

Hunting directly accounts for more than a million jobs in America and creates an overall economy of $67 billion per year. Through license sales and excise taxes on hunting equipment, hunters provide the vast majority of funding that allows state wildlife agencies to successfully manage our wildlife resources.
