RMEF Announces Conservation Grants for Minnesota
July 26, 2010
MISSOULA, Mont.–Wildlife conservation and public education projects in seven Minnesota counties have been selected to receive grants from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in 2010.
The new RMEF funding, totaling $29,965, will affect Beltrami, Goodhue, Kittson, Marshall, Otter Tail, Roseau and Wilkin counties.
Other projects have statewide interest.
“These grants are possible because of the successful banquets and fundraisers staged over the past year by our Minnesota volunteers–most of whom are elk hunters as well as devoted conservationists,” said David Allen, RMEF president and CEO. “Since 1984, our annual grants have helped complete 104 different projects in Minnesota with a combined value of more than $1.8 million.” Read more
