AUGUSTA – In ceremonies in Greenville last week, 16 men and women graduated from the Maine Warden Service Academy and the longest training regimen in Maine history. These newly appointed conservation law enforcement officers have been assigned to fill vacant warden districts throughout the state and will be on the job shortly after nine weeks of field training.

In addition to the new graduating game wardens, two tribal rangers also completed the warden service training. The new game wardens will bring the number of Maine District Wardens to 91 in the field.
