Elk (Cervus elaphus canadensis) were extirpated from east of the Mississippi before the turn of the century. In the early 1900's, efforts were made to re-establish elk in many of the states they had previously lived in with poor results. In the last few years a new push has begun to reintroduce and expand herds in the Eastern US and Canada using modern wildlife management techniques.
The purpose of this page is to disperse information about current studies being conducted which could lead to the reintroduction of elk to former parts of their range in Eastern North America.
