UW-Stevens Point LEAF Program

We’ll be taking a look at the UW-Stevens Point LEAF Program, which helps Wisconsin public schools in their efforts to teach young people about forestry. The program is a partnership between the Department of Natural Resources and the Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education. Host Glen Moberg will moderate a discussion with Jeremy Solin, LEAF Program Director; Wendy McCown, Director of the DNR Bureau of Forestry Services; and Karen Dostal, School Forest Director of the Stevens Point Area School District. Nearly one third of the state of Wisconsin is covered by forests, which provide important environmental, economic and social benefits for our citizens. LEAF stands for Learning, Experiences and Activities in Forestry.
