Gary Vodehnal 

headed for the mountains of Idaho and Montana after receiving a Bachelor's degree in wildlife management and resource conservation from the University of Nebraska. He kept busy working with the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service before settling permanently in Bozeman in 1985. He served as an intern with GVLT while completing his Masters degree in Land Reclamation from MSU and took the land trust bait - hook, line, and sinker, (that's Nebraska pond fishing talk). His job with GVLT takes him back to those cherished Nebraska roots as he works with landowners who want to protect open space and farmland, or are interested in helping with community trails. When not working for GVLT, he spends his time trying to keep up with his wife Carola, and his two children Luka and Liam. He also spends an inordinate amount of time fixing up an old house and occasionally gets to do fun stuff like canoeing, camping, swimming, reading, and gardening. Of course, his favorite family activity is hiking and biking on public trails.
