Forestry Pioneers and Partner Pioneers
As part of the Centennial Celebration, the State Forester has initiated recognition of Forestry Pioneers and Partner Pioneers. These awards recognize individuals who, through their personal and/or professional commitment, have furthered the cause of forestry, forest management, and/or natural resource management in Montana. Forestry Pioneers are forner long-term employees of DNRC's Forestry or Trust Land Management Divisions who have bee instrumental in building the state forestry program in Montana. Partner Pioneers are individuals outside of state government who have made significant contributions to the advancement of the forestry profession in Montana.
Honorees will have a brick engraved with their name and placed around the flagpole of the new entrance to the Forestry Division Headquarters. Our hope is to recognize a new class of inductees each spring in conjunction with the Forestry Division Employee Awards Picnic.
