Nominee for Board Member: Levi Jacobson

I’m Levi Jacobson, I work for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department as the Wildlife Resource Management Supervisor in the south-central part of the state. I have been with the Department for over 15 years and have occupied many different roles ranging from seasonal to supervisor. Currently I oversee 9 counties and the management of about 33k acres of Wildlife Management Areas that the Department owns or leases.  I grew up on a farm and ranch by Warwick, North Dakota and received my BS from the University of North Dakota.  I currently reside in Bismarck with my wife and three daughters.  When I am not working, I am typically out enjoying North Dakota’s natural resources whether it is fishing with the family, chasing mule deer with a bow and arrow, or following my dog looking for pheasants.

Statement of Intent:

After being a NDTWS member and attending the annual meetings for the past 15 years, I would like to increase my involvement with the chapter. I feel that the chapter needs member involvement to continue to be a strong organization. Being an avid outdoorsman, I am extremely passionate about North Dakota’s wildlife and the habitats they occupy.   As a board member I will work to keep student involvement a priority, they are essential for future conservation in this state. I would also encourage the chapter to maintain its voice for wildlife and natural resources in areas where others may not have a voice.
