Wisconsin Conservation Warden Association - Tyler Kreinz Memorial Scholarship
Tyler Kreinz of Beloit, Wisconsin, enlisted in the Army following high school and was deployed to Afghanistan as a Tanker and Army Scout. He planned to enroll in college and pursue his dream career with the DNR as a conservation warden after serving his country. However, on June 18, 2011, Tyler died in the line of duty during a night mission at age 21. His love of country, service to others and commitment to conservation is a shining example and part of a tradition of conservation wardens who have served their country in every military conflict dating back to the Civil War.

Wisconsin Conservation Warden Association - Emerson Noyes Memorial Scholarship
Carrying on a tradition started by his father – Wisconsin Hall of Fame Inductee Haskell Noyes, who died in 1946 – Emerson Noyes assumed the honor of presenting the coveted gold watches to many active and retired wardens who had achieved the pinnacle of a field warden’s career. Emerson faithfully carried on this family tradition until his passing in 2009, a tradition that continues to this day. For nearly a century, the Noyes family’s selfless commitment has recognized individual dedication to natural resources protection and the ideal of striving for the highest possible standards of state service. This scholarship honors that commitment. Isabella Libke Conservation Law Enforcement Melrose, Wisconsin
Wisconsin Conservation Warden Association - Cordero “Cord” Rodriguez Memorial Scholarship
Since he was big enough to walk, Cordero “Cord” Rodriguez of Racine County, Wisconsin, loved to hunt and fish with his father and brother. Unlike most other Wisconsin youths, he knew from early on that he wanted to be involved in conservation and pursue a career in protecting wildlife. Cord’s goal was to attend college and eventually become a conservation warden, but his dreams were cut short by his tragic passing in 2012 at age 17. It is his parents’ wish that others who share Cord’s passion for conservation and service to others might be supported through this scholarship.
