Jenna McCrorie

Jenna McCrorie is a fresh graduate from the University of Montana with a degree in Political Science, International Development, and Mountain Studies. The outdoors are Jenna's favorite place to be, and she is passionate about improving access and increasing respect for our wild places. An avid hiker, angler, skier and cyclist, she has spent many hours volunteering for organizations such as Inner Roads and The Mayfly Project which facilitate experiences for those who can benefit most from the transformative nature of the outdoors. Conserving Montana's public lands is a cause that literally - and figuratively - hits close to home for Jenna, and she is excited to have the opportunity to explore this with Backcountry Hunters & Anglers.

Sarah Garner

Sarah grew up in Tennessee and spent most of her childhood in the woods, chasing adventure and searching for any type of wildlife she could get her hands on. Hunting and fishing were not often practiced in her family, but she brought home every animal she could find - sometimes to her mother's dismay - and dreamed of working with wildlife in some way. She moved to Nevada for a few years until she decided the city life wasn't for her and left on a whim to satisfy her childhood dream of moving to Montana. Although relatively new to the West and to the subject of public lands and waters, she has fallen in love with this beautiful state and has taken the responsibility to care for this land and its wildlife. Since moving here, Sarah has picked up fly fishing and has been pursuing it as a new interest and passion. Her partner, Dalton, is a fly fishing guide, born and raised in Montana, and he has taught Sarah so much about conservation, public lands, and taking care of our fisheries. Right now, Sarah's role with BHA is to continue educating herself on the cause we all fight for, even if it is a small part of our progress.

Casey Kroening

Casey grew up in Northern Wisconsin in a rural area spending his days running around the woods hunting, fishing, and trapping. After going to college at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, Casey moved out west, perusing new game and bigger country. After working for the Forest Service, State Wildlife Departments, and other conservation nonprofits around the country he has landed in Missoula, a place Casey made trips to anyhow. BHA has given him a great opportunity to give back to hunting and fishing in a new way and learn another side of conservation. In Casey's free time you can find him hunting, skiing, running, or camping!
