Elmer E. Rasmuson Wildlife Conservation Center For Education and Research



The 5,500 square foot Center houses the education, research, and demonstration programs that take place on the livestock ranch west of Dupuyer, Montana. The Center serves as a hub for the Boone and Crockett Club's Conservation Education Program.

The Center can sleep up to 30 guests (in five bedrooms) and two staff in a separate bedroom, feed 60 people from the commercial kitchen, and seat 60 to 104 in the main conference room. The lab/classroom is setup for 30 students to work on field related activities. The remaining square footage includes an office, public restrooms with shower facilities, utility room with a pantry closet, washer and dryer, a lab/classroom with storage area, dining area, and an outdoor deck surrounding the west end of the conference room perimeter. The building was constructed to blend into the surrounding landscape and have a high energy efficient rating due to the high winds and inclement winter weather. The Center takes advantage of the surrounding vistas and prevailing strong winds. The building is used year round by students, teachers, and others.

The addition of The Center at the TRM Ranch serves as a hub for the Boone and Crockett Club's Conservation Education Program. It provides an effective facility for courses, workshops, presentations, and demonstrations about integrated natural resource management, natural resources education, and special topic seminars.
