The conservation warden career requires many skills, including good communication skills, an ability to connect with the public, and a passion for protecting people and natural resources. We look for applicants from a very wide variety of backgrounds and with a variety of interests (we’ve hired applicants who majored in communications, natural resources management, biology, criminal justice, education, journalism and many other topics). Protecting natural resources is important and relevant to everyone, so we encourage anyone with an interest to attend. With that in mind, please share with anyone you feel might benefit, and let me know if you have any questions. I know we’re looking forward to this event and I hope you and your students are, too!
Our “Warden Career Day” takes place over the course of about four hours and attendees are encouraged to attend the entire event (although it’s not required). We have attendees rotate through several presentations, given by current conservation wardens, that answer a myriad of questions about natural resources law enforcement, the hiring process, and our department. It’s an exciting opportunity to learn more about the warden career, as well as meet some of the men and women who proudly wear the warden uniform. This is not a hiring event, but will help applicants better prepare for when we do begin hiring for our next class of conservation wardens.
Attendees should RSVP for the event by visiting the warden website or using this link: https://bookwhen.com/wi-dnr-wardencareerday%20#focus=ev-save-20190406100000
