David MacFarland received the Wisconsin DNR Wildlife Management's 2014 Wildlife Conservation Excellence Award at their annual statewide meeting.
MacFarland was recognized for his dedication to wolf management in Wisconsin. Officials say MacFarland's grasp of the complexities of wolf biology, state and federal law, history, and sociology have contributed to the award.
From Rhinelander, MacFarland coordinates the department's efforts to update the Wolf Management Plan which will be used to help guide wolf conservation through the next decade.
