Henderson patrols Forest Service land in two counties
Bobby Henderson is the USFS Law Enforcement Officer for the Lolo Forest in Mineral and Sanders Counties. His primary responsibility is safeguarding national forest resources along with public safety yet he is another resource used when called upon to assist the other officers in the area.
As the law enforcement officer for the Forest Service covering Mineral and most of Sanders counties, Bobby Henderson is right where he wants to be.
A 2004 Frenchtown High School graduate, Henderson is semi-new to this position, but not to the Forest Service as he has worked his way up from rudimentary tasks to being where he is today.
“I started out in recreation at the 9-Mile Ranger District in 2005 and did that for four years. Cleaning campgrounds and doing maintenance around the 9-Mile compound. Some trail work, helping with the mules and then in 2008, I switched over to fire where I got a fire apprentice position but then that became a permanent position,” he said. “I was with the Missoula National Helitack until 2012 and have been here since 2013 on the fire crew,” he speaks from his desk at the Superior Ranger District.
