 The
Center for Land Use Education was established in July 2000. It is a joint venture
of the College of Natural Resources
at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point and Cooperative Extension
in collaboration with UW systems institutions. It is a focal point for land
use planning and management education. Within the limits of its resources,
the Center responds to related educational needs and priorities of our state-wide clientele.
The Center was established in response to advice of College advisors and the effects of increasing population and patterns of development at odds with sound land and resource management principles. Because the quantity and quality of our natural resources are largely determined by the impacts of human activities on the landscape, the Center was seen as a way to provide administrative focus and programming coordination for land use education. Center for Land Use Education MissionThe Center for Land Use Education uses a team-based approach to accomplish its dual missions in campus based undergraduate and graduate education and Extension outreach teaching related to:
We will provide undergraduate, graduate and outreach public education related to land use planning methodologies, plan implementation tools, plan and ordinance administration and related law, project impact analysis, regional impacts/trends analysis and public involvement in policy development. We will strive to identify emerging land use issues and alternative public processes and technical approaches for their resolution. We will provide regular opportunities for continuing education for land use plan and law administrators, planning commissioners, zoning boards, elected officials, state and local agencies and related private sector consultants. We will provide educational assistance to communities related to land use planning. We will use a team-based
approach integrate on-campus education with student internships, outreach
education, research and community services experiences.
