His work experience includes time with the US Forest Service, and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks before starting with the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes in 1990. His work with the Tribes has primarily focused on Flathead Lake, and out of necessity has been driven by the threats to native species imposed by non-native predators and competitors Presentations start at 6:30 pm at the Flathead Lake Brewing Company.
