When in uniform, he is highly motivated to fulfill his responsibility to protect the waterfowl, the wetland resources and the people who enjoy them. He also knows what it means to be a responsible and ethical user as he enjoys his personal time outdoors. He understands the importance of resources from multiple viewpoints.<\/p>\n

It is this dedication to the resources and public service that brought him the honor of being named the Mississippi Flyway Waterfowl Protection Officer of the Year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Warden Tracey also is responsible for an inland area that consists of seven townships across two counties.<\/p>\n

Warden Tracey\u2019s primary responsibility as a conservation warden is to ensure the safe and wise use of Wisconsin\u2019s natural resources through enforcement, education and community involvement.\u00a0Warden Tracey excels in each of these areas.\u00a0He also is responsible for enforcing all DNR regulated activities which include hunting, fishing, trapping, recreational vehicles, recreation property, environmental contamination and waterway\/wetland regulations.<\/p>\n

Education is the cornerstone of Warden Tracey\u2019s enforcement program. Having a station that encompasses an area that is a nationally known waterfowl destination, he is a valuable resource for hunters and is proactive in his taking the time to discuss the opportunities, provide maps, discuss regulations and safety issues.<\/p>\n

With nearly 42 Mississippi River miles, Warden Tracey\u2019s area has a high volume of wetland areas. He receives and investigates numerous wetland related violations every year.
