The first AES meeting was held on June 25, 2001. The group present discussed the desire to develop an Arizona Elk organization. Among the many ideas and concerns addressed were; youth programs, educational programs, direct involvement with herd management and the capability to bring more funds raised directly to the elk herds in Arizona. Since our first meeting the number of individuals and families attending has grown. We have worked diligently in developing a modern, focused organization. The Arizona Elk Society is a registered Arizona non-profit organization.

Our AES Officers and Board of Directors have really helped make our's a strong organization that takes care of Arizona wifelife and habitat. More Info
