Wisconsin lost an exceptional advocate for the natural world when Dave Vetrano, 74, died on November 3.
Vetrano, a retired Department of Natural Resources (DNR) fish manager, had been battling pancreatic cancer. He represented the dedication typical of many DNR employees both during their time on the job and in retirement. Vetrano, perhaps the only DNR fish manager with long hair, an earring and a motorcycle, understood the impact of Driftless land exploit on trout streams.
