MDC conservation agent brings experience to new job

Long-time Johnson County agent Zielke transfers to Greene County Aug. 1.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) agent Kevin Zielke is bringing veteran experience to a new job assignment.
On Aug. 1, Zielke begins his new job as conservation agent for Greene County. He will work alongside fellow Greene County Conservation Agent Shannon Ohrenberg. Zielke replaces Mark Creed, who was promoted to Protection Division District Supervisor in MDC’s Southwest Region.
He may be new to Greene County, but Zielke isn’t new to the job of enforcing Missouri’s fish and wildlife regulations. He has been a conservation agent in Johnson County since 1997. Prior to that, the 1994 Texas Tech University graduate worked in south Texas managing wildlife operations on large ranches.

“I look forward to meeting the people of Greene County and working with them,” Zielke said. “I’m excited to be in a new area and protecting the great natural resources of our state.”
