John Fraley retired from a 40-year career as a biologist with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, where he worked in the Bob Marshall Wilderness and other wild areas. He has written five books about wilderness and backcountry adventures, including Wild River Pioneers, Rangers, Trappers and Trailblazers, and Heroes of the Bob Marshall Wilderness. At the November 7 Science on Tap presentation, John will talk about westslope cutthroat trout biology and spirituality focused on the headwaters of the South Fork of the Flathead River, as covered in his 2022 book, “My Wilderness Life.”

Science on Tap is an informal community gathering to discuss science around the lake, region, world… and sometimes beyond. We invite local scientists and researchers in our community to discuss and present their work and results in ways that are easy to understand and light on data and graphs. This is a fun, family-friendly event in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Bring your curiosity and enjoy yourself!
