Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation marks 25th year in Missoula, Montana

The view out the window of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation http://www.rmef.org/ keeps changing.

Twenty-five years ago, it was a pine forest out back of Bob Munson’s trailer home/real estate office in Troy – and the vision of four men who thought their favorite animal needed a helping hand.

Twenty-five years later, the Elk Foundation’s executive offices command the second floor of a $14 million headquarters, overlooking a cottonwood bottom along Grant Creek in Missoula. And the vision encompasses 155,000 members who’ve protected or improved 5.5 million acres of habitat in 30 states for their favorite animal.
