Residents in the Pinetop/Show Low area formed the first-ever chapter of the Arizona Elk Society. Known as the ARIZONA ELK SOCIETY WHITE MOUNTAIN CHAPTER, volunteers feel they can significantly contribute to improved populations of elk and other wildlife as well as partner with the communities to provide quality opportunities to get the public involved in conservation of wildlife. Teaching the youth about conservation, outdoors, hunting and fishing will be an important part of what they do in the local communities..
The chapter’s primary goal is to raise funds for elk habitat and promote conservation and continuing the Hunting Heritage. The monies raised will fund elk habitat projects, youth adventures and water hauling in times of drought. Arizona Elk Society has empowered this local chapter with the responsibility to determine how the money raised by the Chapter goes to Habitat and Youth projects in their area as well as water hauling to remote wildlife drinker catchments in the area.
The Arizona Elk Society White Mountain Chapter is actively looking for volunteers and sponsors to help generate interest in the White Mountain outdoor community. If you are interested in helping out on the Chapter Committee, volunteer or donate please contact:
