The snake bounty program was one of many successful tools available to assist the public during their interactions with wildlife. DPNR remains committed to managing invasive species. “We encourage interested individuals to become certified wildlife control operators. These operators play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance between the public and wildlife, safeguarding our native wildlife in a rapidly changing world,” said Nicole Angeli, Ph.D., Director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife. For more information on becoming a wildlife control operator or to learn about other conservation initiatives, call the Division of Fish and Wildlife at (340) 773-1082.
