After 34 years of being in and out of the fields, Fish, Wildlife and Parks Biologist Gary Olson is going to retire.
He grew up on a family ranch near Choteau and graduated from Choteau High School and moved on, going to UofM-Missoula where he received a BS degree in Wildlife Management and a Masters’ in Range Management.
With two degrees in hand, his first job was with the Great Falls Credit Bank. That didn’t last long and he moved back to manage the family ranch for four years before moving to Conrad in 1978.
Once posted here he and his wife Kathy, a nurse at the Pondera Medical Center Clinic, have never left and let their roots run deep.
Olson noted that being here allowed him to use both degrees working on vegetation and grazing projects as well as habitat management. “It was the best of two worlds.”
