MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The Department of Natural Resources is looking for its next class of wardens.
The deadline is Thursday to apply to the DNR for conservation warden positions statewide. The agency expects to hire up to 14 full-time wardens for its 2027 class. Those selected will begin training in either January or April of 2027, depending on experience.
Conservation wardens serve as law enforcement officers, protecting wildlife, natural resources and outdoor recreation areas, while also educating the public.
The DNR says no prior law enforcement experience is required, and paid training is provided.
