CUSTER (AP) - The Black Hills National Forest in western South Dakota and northeastern Wyoming is getting a new supervisor.
Mark Van Every has more than 33 years of experience with the U.S. Forest Service. He has worked at forests in Alaska, Wyoming, Utah, Minnesota and Colorado. The last four years he's been forest supervisor for the National Forests and Grasslands in Texas.
Starting Aug. 22, Van Every will replace Craig Bobzien at the Black Hills National Forest. Bobzien retired at the end of April, after serving as supervisor of the 1.2 million-acre forest since June 2005.
