Meet our Backcountry Ranger Rory. Although for many of you, he won't need an introduction: Rory just started his 15th season with us!
As our ranger, Rory is our eyes and ears on the ground in the Great Burn and String of Pearls. He typically patrols 300 miles in a season, often with a heavy pack. This summer, he's joining us full time, and he's expanding his work duties to also act as a liaison between local field crews and our Forest Service partners.
Welcome back, Rory!
Welcome to the trail crew, Brendan and Jenny!
Hard to believe, but our first hitch of the field season begins next week! Meet our new trail crew members, Brendan and Jenny.
Jenny is studying Resource Conservation and Environmental Studies at the University of Montana. A Stevensville native, she is a longtime admirer of the Great Burn with a lifetime of experiences there. She’s worked at a local ranch for six years and is also interested in environmental policy and restoration.
Brendan is also studying Resource Conservation and Wilderness Studies at UM. He spent his last summer working for an outfitter in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and he has years of experience in construction and heavy equipment operating.
On Monday, Brendan and Jenny will join three national forest employees to create a partner-integrated trail with the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest. If you see them on the trails, we hope you stop and say hello.
Welcome to the team, Brendan and Jenny!
