New Region 1 wildlife manager announced

Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks Region 1 has a new wildlife manager . . .

A biologist who once specialized in grizzly bear diet, Neil Anderson recently took over as the new Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Region 1 wildlife manager.

Anderson officially began his new job at the Kalispell office on Feb. 9. His predecessor, Jim Williams, is now the regional director.

We have to make sure what we create is enforceable.”
