Follow RMEF volunteers in year two as they make an impactful difference on elk country high in the mountains along the Montana-Idaho border. They brave steep slopes and overly thick, rugged terrain to remove miles of nine-strand, downed wire dating back a century earlier from an abandoned, electrified Milwaukee Road rail line. Along the way, they experience the joy that comes with boots on the ground conservation work.

It was a disturbing discovery. Curt Nizzoli came across the remains of a great struggle while hunting in Idaho–the deadhead of a mature bull elk wrapped in more than 40 feet of electrical wire discarded from a way of life long since gone. A dedicated member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation for more than 25 years, he took action and wrote a letter to RMEF. That sparked action. Motivated volunteers joined him at the site to roll up their sleeves and forever improve elk country.
