Gianforte appoints Christy Clark to lead Fish, Wildlife and Parks
Gov. Greg Gianforte has appointed Montana Department of Agriculture director Christy Clark as the new director of the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, the governor’s office said in a news release on Friday.
“Christy Clark is a strong leader with the skills needed to lead the agency tasked with protecting Montana’s cherished recreational opportunities and public access to public lands,” Gov. Gianforte said in a statement. “With her record of leadership, I am confident in her as she takes on this new role at FWP. I appreciate her willingness to serve in this new capacity after her successful tenure at MDA.”
Clark will take the top leadership position at FWP following the retirement of Director Dustin Temple, which was announced last month. Temple, who will wrap up a 20-year tenure with the department this year, served in his role for roughly 18 months, having taken over after another two-decade FWP veteran, Hank Worsech, retired in 2023.
