"Gaylord Nelson, favorite son of Wisconsin and
father of Earth Day, said that the most
important environmental issue was instilling a
conservation ethic in our culture. People
protect what they love, and providing children
with early and frequent outdoors experiences has
a direct impact on their future conservation
ethic and the preservation of our natural
resources.
"The
work we do at the Department of Natural
Resources to protect and enhance our state�s
great outdoors requires an educated citizenry
that is both knowledgeable and willing to take
action on behalf of the environment. The
Wisconsin Environmental Education Board helps
meet this need.
"WEEB
remains a strong ally in ensuring that
Wisconsin�s natural resources are protected for
generations to come."
