More than two years in the making, an RMEF-led project now conserves 23,000 acres of crucial habitat for elk, mule deer and other wildlife in Elko County, Nevada. And as narrator Remi Warren notes in this final episode of “A Win for Windermere,” the Windermere Hills project also opens and improves access for hunting and other outdoor recreation.

The access easement, managed by the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW), provides new or improved access to 47,000 acres of checkerboard private and public land. Commitment and cooperation from RMEF, a conservation-minded landowner, NDOW and other partners not only protects vital habitat for the second-largest mule deer herd in Nevada, but also solves a complicated access problem for hunters. That’s a win-win.

47,000 acres of public access because of support from RMEF members and supporters. Join the mission at rmef.org/windermere

Hunting is Conservation: 60% of budget funding for state fish and wildlife agencies, which are tasked with the responsibility of wildlife management, is generated by hunters and anglers, thanks to excise taxes and the purchase of licenses/fees.

A 23,000-acre property known as Windermere Hills in northeastern Nevada contains vital habitat for big game. As narrator Remi Warren explains in this episode, the Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) has identified the habitat on Windermere and the surrounding area as some of the most important in the state for mule deer. Thanks to RMEF, a conservation-minded landowner, NDOW and other partners, this crucial piece of mule deer migration route is now conserved forever.

Watch to learn how a voluntary conservation agreement (also known as a conservation easement) for Windermere Hills protects habitat connectivity across more than 400,000 acres of private and public land in an area where RMEF has completed numerous habitat stewardship projects. Plus, see how a rancher and his family have not only protected their way of life on their Windermere Hills property but also conserved vital habitat for Nevada’s wildlife.

The next 23,000 acres starts here. Join the mission by visiting rmef.org/windermere.

Hunting is Conservation: In 1937, hunters did something no industry has ever done: they asked the government to tax them. The result was the Pittman-Robertson Act: an 11% excise tax on fi****ms, ammo, bows, and arrows, paid entirely by hunters and shooters.

To date it has generated over $17.7 billion for wildlife conservation, nearly $1 billion in 2024 alone. That money restored elk populations. White-tailed deer grew from 500,000 to 30+ million. It funds the land, the science, and the wildlife every nature lover enjoys.
