Emerson Noyes Scholarship

Since 1930 the Noyes family of Milwaukee, WI has honored an outstanding Wisconsin Conservation Warden each year with the presentation of an award. Emerson as a young boy accompanied his father, Haskell Noyes, to the presentation for many years. The presentation is always held in the warden’s home community at a public gathering. The award includes a gold pocket watch with an inscription stating the watch is a Conservation Warden Efficiency Award for “Faithful and Able Service”. After his father’s death in 1948, Emerson has since preformed the honor of presenting the gold watches to many active and retired wardens. Receiving “The Watch” has come to represent the pinnacle of a field warden’s career.  Emerson has faithfully carried on this family tradition that he has since passed on to his family members. Their example throughout this long period is a selfless commitment in recognizing individual dedication to natural resources protection and the ideal of striving for the highest possible standards of state service. The warden service and the Wisconsin Conservation Warden Association are deeply grateful to Emerson and the Noyes family and acknowledge their dedication through this scholarship.
