plans to promote conservation.
Lowrey has spent many years
in his line of work, which fits
his interests and his personality.
“I wanted to be a biologist,”
he said. “I just didn't see
myself as a white lab coat kind
of biologist.”
He's also been a hunter for
about 20 years, and is active in
fundraising and educational
efforts for the local and state
turkey federation.
Wes Dorsey, who heads up
the Sawnee Mountain chapter,
was one of two who nominated
Lowrey for the award after see
ing his work over the past four
years.
“He’s such a hard worker and
he doesn't give up when there’s
something that needs to be
done,” Dorsey said. “He goes
out, takes the challenge and
goes with it”

Women in the Outdoors events,
In his nomination, Dorsey
wrote that Lowrey “goes above
and beyond the aspects of his
job and always gives 200 per
cent when it comes to teaching
others about the outdoors.”
Those activities also contrib

Top Gun Award at the state
convention for the 11th year
running.
According to Dorsey, three

To support those efforts and
