This guide is a product of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and the Council for Environmental Education.
Elk provides a summary of the biology and ecology of elk.
Topics addressed include elk s physical characteristics and adaptations, habitat and historical range, behavior, life cycles, social structure, migratory patterns, and the present and historical relationships between elk and humans. A primary message woven throughout the guide is the importance of habitat to the elk s survival. Activities in the guide assist educators in helping their students learn about elk and their habitat. A resource list facilitates further exploration of issues affecting elk. You do not need to attend a Project WILD workshop to purchase supplementary curriculum materials.
