Producer-led Elk Survey seeks input from Peace Region and Porcupine Hills area

Alberta Beef Producers is encouraging livestock producers in seven Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) in Alberta’s Peace Region and Porcupine Hills area to take part in a short, producer-led elk population survey running from March 31 to April 2, 2026. 

The Landowner Elk Survey is designed to gather on-the-ground observations from producers experiencing interactions with elk. 

Participation from local producers will help determine if landowner-led elk surveys can produce accurate population estimates for elk within Alberta.

Producers operating in WMUs 304, 305, 306, 308, 359, 522, and 526 are encouraged to share their observations. Completing the survey electronically helps improve efficiency, though paper copies are also available upon request. 

The survey includes background information and simple instructions for recording elk numbers.

ABP thanks producers in advance for taking the time to share their observations and contribute to a stronger understanding of elk population assessments in Alberta.
