This event will provide you new field techniques and classroom enhancements. It’s your opportunity to network and expand your teaching repertoire in a relaxed environment with like-minded teachers.

The Summit is open to anyone with interest. The target audience is high school level educators from Wisconsin who teach environmental science, ecology, natural resources, or related courses.

Day one - field experiences: guided canoe exploration or naturalist-led hike, forestry field techniques, pond mucking, and wildlife tracking. Evening entertainment includes Wisconsin forest history with Lumberjack Louie and a campfire social.

Day two - classroom lessons: keynote speaker, Biofuels Sustainability: Assessing Energy and Carbon Balance workshop, Sustainability Education for the Classroom workshop, and environmental science resource sharing.

Registration is $25 for one day and $40 for both days if postmarked by July 6. Graduate credit is available through UWSP. Fifteen $100 scholarships will be given to environmental science teachers to offset credit cost.
