The Maine Warden Service has been protecting the woods, animals and people of Maine long before 'North Woods Law'.

Established in 1880, the Maine wardens are a force to be reckoned. Protecting the Maine people by enforcing public safety and recreation laws and the Maine wildlife from fish to bobcats.

The job can be a very risky one with lots of training involved. It is clear from watching 'North Woods Law' these off-road professionals never know what they are going to encounter and have to quickly adjust to numerous different situations that can be as serious as life and death.

So cheers to you Maine Wardens Service! You have my respect and I thank you for keeping the woods safe for people like me to enjoy safely.

To see how intense situations sometimes get for these wardens watch this clip from Animal Planet's 'North Wood Law' as wardens Parker and MacCabe catch a law breaker after dark!
