The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point has long been committed to sustainability. Seventy years ago, in 1946, conservation education began at what would later become the College of Natural Resources.

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond the classroom to the way we operate on campus. Sustainability is one of the four pillars of our strategic plan, A Partnership for Thriving Communities. It is a thread woven through daily activities of our students, faculty and staff. From recycling to composting food waste, from biking to campus to using electric vehicles on campus, from eliminating plastic water bottles to using earth-safe cleaners, UW-Stevens Point embraces sustainable practices.
