Jessica French

Jessica grew up in Colorado, but after spending countless days exploring the Big Sky state with my Montana City-based grandmother, moved to Montana as soon as she graduated high school. She graduated from Montana State University with a BS in Animal Science and a minor in Natural Resource and Rangeland Ecology. A college internship with the Forest Service in New Mexico pointed her in the direction of federal service, and she spent the last 14 years working for the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management as a Wildlife Technician and Rangeland Management Specialist, with botany, grazing and wildlife work that has spanned from the Raft River Mountains in Utah to the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho to the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument in Montana. She has a passion for public lands and wild places and is an avid hunter, angler and wild game cook.
