Outdoor Life Honors Utah OHV Instructor
Outdoor Life magazine also honored Utah Division of Parks and Recreation off-highway vehicle safety coordinator Ann Evans as one of The Outdoor Life 25 Men and Women Who Have Changed the Face of Hunting and Fishing.
Ann was one of the first female park rangers in Utah before switching to the Division of Wildlife Resources where she served as the aquatic education coordinator where she taught fishing basics.
She then took her current position with the Division of Parks and Recreation. While summer ATV use in Utah has increased 225 percent in recent years, accident rates are down 40 percent due to mandatory youth education.
Outdoor Life also praised Evans for becoming a certified CPR training and for training hundreds of staffers and saving not only Utah thousands of dollars but lives as well.
It is a real honor for two Utahns – Don Peay of Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife was also selected – to be picked on this list of only 25 which includes so many big names across the country. Congratulations to both Ann and Don.
