​"The UW System is proud to promote environmental education in its many forms, fulfilling society’s growing need for “sustainability-literate” college graduates. These educated citizens will be the next generation of scientists, engineers, planners, and business and government leaders destined for careers in the public and private sector of the emerging green economy. Wisconsin will increasingly rely on these highly qualified workers to develop the innovative, sustainable practices of the future.  They will be critical to enhancing our state’s economic strength, improving the health of our environment, and creating more livable communities.

The Wisconsin Environmental Education Board (WEEB) is one of the state’s most credible – and incredible – sources of education and research-based information, empowering people with the knowledge they need to preserve Wisconsin’s precious natural areas. The UW System strongly shares and supports WEEB’s commitment to this vital cause."
