Deputy Refuge Manager Cortez Rohr (2019-2023) plants endangered whitebark pine seedlings at Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. These seedlings were propagated by the Montana DNRC tree seedling nursery from seed hand collected near the Refuge by Cortez and seasonal technicians. It took over 2 1/2 yrs from seed collection to seedling before planting could take place. Photo by Cortez Rohr/USFWS
