 We're hiring!
Interested in becoming a Michigan DNR conservation officer? We are currently accepting applications for two Conservation Officer Recruit School Academies that will be offered in 2022. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact a recruiter to learn more.
 How do COs learn about trapping?
Trapping is a unique sport learned over time. Watch a video of the training new conservation officers receive to learn more about this method of hunting that has been passed down by generations.
MCOA 2022 calendars are available
Michigan Conservation Officers Association calendars are now available. The cost of a calendar is $20, which enters the buyer into a monthly cash prize raffle. All proceeds go directly to MCOA, which are used to support the employees, family and friends of Michigan DNR conservation officers who need help in difficult times, including fundraising benefits, charity games, and assisted hunts for those who need a helping hand.
To purchase a calendar, email MCOA President Kyle Bucholtz.
 Watch the Recruit School #10 graduation live on Facebook
Michigan's newest conservation officers will be graduating on Tuesday, Jan. 18. The graduation ceremony will be livestreamed on the DNR's Facebook account for those who cannot attend. More details will be posted on the DNR Facebook page the week before the event.
 Ice and snowmobile safety reminders
As hopes of ice fishing and snowmobiling increase throughout the state, it's important to use extreme caution when on or near the ice. There is not a reliable "inch thickness test."
If operating a snowmobile, always ride sober and at a safe speed.
