Abstract

Wisconsin was the first state to require its teachers to receive "adequate instruction in the conservation of natural resources"' establishing—as early as 1935—a clear ambition to continue this mindset through conservation education. Conservation education has grown into Environmental Education (EE) and Education for Sustainability (EfS), and today, Wisconsin serves as a metaphorical magnet for students and organizations looking to further these fields. In particular, the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) College of Natural Resources is home to a variety of outdoor education majors and minors that can be difficult to find at other universities, but whose popularity continues to thrive. Students can major in Environmental Education and Interpretation, Youth Programming and Camp Management, and Wildlife Ecology Information and Education, as well as minor in Adventure Education and Forest Recreation.
