Vice PResident - JIM JUNG

I began my career with the DNR as an LTE Ranger in 1987 and then as Special Warden for the Woodruff Team. I was hired full time in 1993 and stationed in Two Rivers as the MEU Warden for Manitowoc and Kewaunee Counties. I transferred to my current station in Rhinelander in 2003 and have been proudly serving that community since. I enjoy hunting, fishing, and trapping as well as taking trips on my motorcycle. I retired from the warden service in 2019 and took over as the WCEF President that same year after serving as the WCWA/WCEF Treasurer for 16 years. In 2020, I took over the roll as WCEF Vice President. 

Treasurer - JOhn DAniel

I have been involved with the WCEF since 2001. The Foundation does a lot to promote the future of outdoor recreation among the young, scholarships, and the preserving and displaying the history of conservation movement in Wisconsin. Being involved and helping these projects move forward is very gratifying as is our efforts to get the Foundation on solid financial footing.I am currently “retired” from service but I proudly served in various law enforcement roles with the Department of Natural Resources for most of my career. I began in 1974 as a Conservation Warden and was stationed in Madison and western Dane County. From 1983 to 1997 I worked as a Special Investigator and then an Administrative Warden. In 1997, I was promoted to the Deputy Chief Warden. I retired from full time service in 2001. I now work part time for the DNR assisting with various projects in the Bureau of Law Enforcement.

​Secretary - Bill Schwengel

WCWA Representative - TIM WERNER

I am originally from Monroe, Michigan and grew up spending the majority of my time either playing ice hockey or fishing on Lake Erie.  In 2007, I moved to Wisconsin to attend Northland College in Ashland.  I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in natural resources and began working for the WI DNR as a Conservation Warden in 2012.  I was assigned to the Crivitz station upon completing training and still serve as the field warden for western Marinette County today.  In my free time you will find me spending time with my wife and two daughters, outdoors either camping, hunting or fishing, or you will find me out on the golf course with friends and family.  I am excited for my role as President for the WCWA and FOP Game Warden Lodge #18.

WCEF Past President - Bill Engfer

I have been on Board of Directors of the Foundation since it was started in 1998. My interest in trying to educate the public on the value of our environment and getting people to enjoy the outdoors that we have, was peaked while I was the Director of Recreation Enforcement and Education for the Department of Natural Resources. My goal was to expand our outreach to the public to let everyone know what the Foundation does and the many fine accomplishments it has helped achieve through its public charity work as a non-profit organization. I was able to expand our outreach to a new level in order to promote and fund more projects that supported conservation efforts and help develop leaders for tomorrow in the conservation field.
