Brad Dahlquist earns Wisconsin Wildlife Foundation Warden of the Year award from DNR

MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) announced the 2023 award recipients from the Division of Public Safety and Resource Protection in honor of exemplary public service.

“The recipients are walking examples to the public that the DNR is dedicated to its core mission of protecting our natural resources and those who use them,” said DNR Chief Warden Casey Krueger.
