The National Park Service data come as the agency battles a lawsuit by environmental activists over its management of the animals.
Tule elk herds in the Point Reyes National Seashore rebounded this winter following a significant die-off during the drought, according to new National Park Service data.
The Limantour herd, which is one of two free-roaming herds, increased from 151 elk to 170 from 2021 to 2022. Park staff said they were unable to conduct a count of the other free-roaming herd, the Drakes Beach herd, this winter because of weather conditions and staffing limitations. The park’s management of the Tomales Point herd has been met with pushback from environmental groups following the recent die-off.
In 2021, Harvard Law School’s Animal Law and Policy Clinic filed a federal lawsuit alleging the Point Reyes National Seashore was negligent in its elk management and violated federal law. The lawsuit stated the park specifically violated the Administrative Procedure Act, a broad statute regulating rule-making and judicial review of federal agencies’ decisions.
