Wisconsin Wildlife Federation - Les Woerpel Scholarship
Les Woerpel was involved in conservation nationally through his papers on pheasant management, pesticide use, water and water rights. He was an avid proponent of the Wilderness and Multiple Use and Sustained Yield Acts. In Wisconsin, his efforts helped establish the Chequamegon and Nicolet National Forests, the George W. Mead Wildlife Area, and the reintroduction of the prairie chicken in the Buena Vista Marsh. Les was commended by Governors Nelson and Knowles and by President Nixon for his leadership. Said Woerpel: “There is more to do than has already been done, and it needs to be done by cooperation, understanding and hard work…” Eloise Kaminski Wildlife Ecology and Management Greendale, Wisconsin
