Schmeeckle Reserve is an outdoor classroom and laboratory for the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and other area schools. 

Natural Resources and Biology students test water quality, identify and measure trees, observe birds, study small mammals, test soil, participate in law enforcement scenarios, and present public programs. Other classes use the natural area for conducting canoe, kayak, and snowshoe lessons, teaching wilderness survival, creating natural sculptures, discovering regional history, and navigating with GPS units. Several research projects developed by faculty, staff, and students are conducted annually in the Reserve to expand our knowledge base of natural resource management. 

Explore these educational resources for students, faculty, and the community to learn more about Schmeeckle Reserve and central Wisconsin.
