Joel Webster joined the TRCP in 2007 and is the manager of the Roadless and Mining Initiatives. A born and raised westerner and lifelong sportsman, Joel is committed to hunter/angler issues and has been since he was first old enough to carry a rifle.
After completing his bachelor’s degree at the University of Idaho in 2000, Joel moved to his current home of Missoula, Mont. where he earned a master's degree in environmental studies at the University of Montana. He is a founder and board member of Hellgate Hunters and Anglers, a Missoula-based rod and gun club. In addition, Joel has been a leader in the development of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, a public-lands focused conservation organization. Before joining the TRCP, Joel worked with hunters and anglers on backcountry conservation issues as the field organizer for the Montana Roadless Working Group.
When not building relationships and empowering sportsmen on behalf of our hunting and fishing heritage Joel spends his time fishing clear mountain streams for native trout in the summer and pursuing deer, elk and game birds in the fall. There is nothing Joel likes better than getting into the backcountry and stalking buck mule deer in Montana’s rugged high country.
