Martin Twer

Martin Twer

Born and raised in Germany, the currents of life have deposited Martin in Missoula for a while. In his pre-academic life he was an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and a landscaper. His first time in the USA was a 3-month internship/fieldwork in the hot and very smoky summer of 2000 at UM’s School of Forestry, Lubrecht Exerimental Forest and Bandy Ranch. During his studies for a Masters degree equivalent in Landscape Ecology from the University of Muenster (Germany) Martin thoroughly enjoyed an exchange year in Joensuu, Finland, and has pretty much traveled the rest of Europe as well. In the fall of 2002 Martin returned to Missoula as a graduate student, was “adopted” by a local family and since 2007 has worked with MSU Extension Forestry.
