SPOONER Jon Hagen has been named Conservation Warden at Spooner, according to John Gozdzialski, Department of Natural Resource's Northern Region Director. Hagen replaces Brian Knepper who was promoted to an environmental enforcement position.
Hagen will be responsible for all field conservation and environmental law enforcement activities in southern Washburn County.
Formerly from Rice Lake, Hagen started with the department in summer of 1999 as a park ranger. Hagen was later hired as a part-time Deputy Conservation Warden in 2000. In 2001, he was hired full time as a conservation warden. Following training Hagen was temporarily stationed in Polk County and later permanently assigned to Milwaukee County and later Walworth County.
Hagen said he is looking forward to getting back to northwest Wisconsin and working with the people of Washburn County.
A graduate of UW-Stevens Point, Hagen holds a Bachelors of Science degree in Forestry, Parks and Recreation.
In his spare time Hagen enjoys spending time with family and friends, hunting with his two dogs, and preparing for a new arrival to the family with his wife, Cherie.
