Warzecha Earns National Conservation Award

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Ralph Warzecha received national recognition from the National Wild Turkey Federation as a recipient of the Roger M. Latham Sportsman Wild Turkey Service Award for his service to the organization’s outreach mission.

“While I am honored to receive this award, it is not about ‘I,’” Warzecha said. “For the volunteers in Minnesota, it is about teaching folks and getting them involved in the outdoors with first-hand experience to bestow confidence, guidance, spirituality, and we do what we do for the betterment of everything. We care about the future stewards of our wildlife.”

Warzecha received one of five Roger M. Latham Sportsman Wild Turkey Service awards during the NWTF’s 48th annual NWTF Convention and Sport Show, sponsored by Mossy Oak.
