Rocky Mountain National Park is continuing to implement its Elk and Vegetation Management Plan. The plan relies on a variety of conservation tools including fencing, elk redistribution, vegetation restoration and culling. Authorized agents, including qualified volunteers may assist the National Park Service (NPS) in culling operations under the direct supervision of NPS personnel.

Update Notice: After evaluating our upcoming operational needs for our elk and vegetation management plan, we currently have a sufficient number of returning and previously trained elk culling volunteers. Therefore, we will not be recruiting for or accepting new applications for additional volunteers this winter season. Thank you for your continued support and interest in Rocky Mountain National Park's elk and vegetation management plan.
