Hotel Information

Two changes have occurred with the DNR Recreational Safety Warden (RSW) staff. 1) Chris Wunrow, RSW assigned to the Spooner DNR Office has retired, and 2) Jon King, RSW assigned to the Central Office and been moved to field duties and is now covering southwest Wisconsin.

Please note the change in counties that will be covered by Catherina Nooyen and Jon King. Jon will eventually move his office to the Dodgeville DNR Office. Bill Yearman and Jeff Dauterman will be dividing up Chris Wunrow's area and providing coverage until Chris' vacancy can be filled.

As always, RSWs are the first point of contact for our volunteer safety instructors.
