Wisconsin Environmental Education Board
October 2001
The Honorable, The Legislature:
Every two years, units of state government are asked to provide a report to the legislature. A statement made by a citizen provides a wonderful testament to the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board's (WEEB) accomplishments: "I never realized the Board is served by just one part-time employee. I envisioned a much larger unit of government that that. You sure do a lot with a little! You had me completely fooled."
While fooling the public is not a WEEB goal, setting the future direction for environmental education in the state is. During the biennial period the WEEB began the implementation of a five-year strategic plan, EE-2005: A Plan for Advancing Environmental Education in Wisconsin. The primary goal of the plan is to enhance the environmental literacy of all Wisconsin residents.
As the WEEB strives to incorporate new initiatives, it continues to provide opportunities for Wisconsin residents to learn about the importance of creating and maintaining sustainable economic and ecological environments in the state. This report provides an overview of the projects that have been made possible over the last two years by the WEEB grant program. The diversity of projects attests to the many venues of daily life environmental education permeates. Environmental education ensures our Wisconsin heritage of concern and stewardship for our environment will continue for generations to come.
If, as you review the report, question arise, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Rick Koziel
