Elk Country Award
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation awarded its 2012 Elk Country Award to the Northern Region’s Jan Ingebretson, a wildlife biologist on the Swan Lake ranger district of the Flathead National Forest. The foundation cited Ingebretson’s efforts and contributions to almost two dozen different elk and wildlife habitat improvement projects dating back to 1995. The projects have treated and improved more than 5200 acres of wildlife and elk habitat on the district using prescribed burning, noxious weed control and partner collaboration. Current 2012 projects are expected to add an additional 1,000 acres to that total. Ingebretson has coordinated the funding for these and other projects.
