Governor's High School Conference on the Environment
Students Making a Difference:
Citizen Science Monitoring
Wednesday, November 14, 2007
Country Springs Hotel Conference &
Convention Center
Stevens Point, Wisconsin
The 16th High School
Conference on the Environment offered an opportunity
to learn how to make a difference through citizen
science monitoring. Participants left prepared to lead
others in an environmental monitoring project. They
learned how to take the next step with a monitoring project
they were already conducting. They visited with professionals who
use monitoring as part of their careers. They discovered what
high school and university students were doing around the
state.
Thank you to all
of our participating schools, keynote speakers,
presenters, exhibitors, careers professionals, and
volunteers! You all helped make this event a success!

Conference Welcome:
 Greetings!
I am pleased to welcome you to
Stevens Point for the 2007 Governor's High
School Conference on the Environment.
Wisconsin has a long tradition
of celebrating and protecting our state's
natural resources. I am proud of all the
dedicated students and teachers of Wisconsin
that came today for this year's conference. Your
dedication to improving Wisconsin's environment
is invaluable and I applaud your efforts. This
year's theme,
Students Making a Difference: Citizen Science
Monitoring,
will contribute to environmental monitoring
efforts that effect change in local communities,
across the state, and the nation.
Today, you will learn about
citizen science monitoring programs and their
importance in the expansion of scientific
knowledge. You will also explore ways to become
active citizens and lead others in conducting
monitoring research. Enjoy the opportunity to
present your research and network with other
high school and university students, and career
professionals.
Thank you for being "Citizen
Scientists" and for participating in the
exchange of ideas, information and inspiration
for such important research. Have a good
conference!
Sincerely,
Jim Doyle
Governor
