Former Governor
Scott McCallum, 2001

"On behalf of the citizens of Wisconsin, I applaud and thank the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board for the contributions it has made toward educating citizens about maintaining the environmental quality of our great State while balancing social, ecological and economic needs. Fifteen years ago, when I ran for Lieutenant Governor, a tenet of my platform was to rebuild confidence in the State’s ability to tackle any problem. The WEEB’s dedication to providing Wisconsin citizens with the knowledge and skills to do just that is commendable.

Wisconsin has a long and proud history of concern for our environment that has set the stage for our future. Environmental education is based on the premise that daily decisions made in both public and private settings can influence the storyline. Politics is also based on this premise. I am confident future projects funded via the environmental education grant program will continue to enhance environmental quality and increase the likelihood of achieving a ‘happily ever after’ scenario for all our citizens."

Former Governor
Tommy G. Thompson, 1999

"The Wisconsin Environmental Education Board, via the grants program, has enabled citizens across Wisconsin to gain an appreciation of the natural and built environment, investigate all facets of environmental issues and resolve environmental conflicts in a balanced way. Providing funds to grass roots organizations has empowered and motivated people to become involved in maintaining the environmental quality of our great State while balancing social, ecological and economic needs. On behalf of the citizens of Wisconsin, I applaud and thank the Board for their efforts. Education continues to be an outstanding way to achieve environmental quality."
