Natural Resource Officers (NROs), also known as game wardens, enforce laws related to fishing, hunting, and boating. They work variable hours responding to calls in the field. The responsibilities of an NRO include enforcing outdoor laws, issuing tickets, teaching hunter education courses, and assisting biologists and the public. Becoming an NRO requires a bachelor's degree in a natural resource field, passing the state law enforcement exam, and meeting other requirements like age, background checks, and physical fitness. The work involves spending time outdoors and interacting with the public to educate them and enforce regulations.
