Environmental Education

One of the goals of the Mead Wildlife Area is to provide wildlife and environmental programs to the citizens of Wisconsin. These programs help to foster a sense of environmental stewardship, that through education we can achieve a better understanding of the values and issues of our wildlife and natural resources.

These programs may include tours of the Stanton W. Mead Education and Visitor Center’s green building design or the wildlife area, on or off site presentations and activity based programs. The Mead DNR staff, dedicated volunteers, and UW system students come together to help achieve this goal. The Mead Wildlife Area has served over 4,600 students from 40 different schools and 1,300 adults. For a complete description of the programs opportunities, please view the Environmental Education Opportunities brochure.
