2020 Vision

Wisconsin has long been a leader in Environmental Education.  With this education comes knowledge.  With knowledge comes improvement.  With improvement comes a better Environmental Tomorrow…

Thousands of individuals in Wisconsin have benefited from the enriched learning opportunities provided by the Wisconsin Environmental Education Board (WEEB).  WEEB, a non-profit, cross functional board, formed by the Governor in 1990, has successfully directed over $5,000,000 in State funds over the last 15 years for the betterment of our state’s environment.

At WEEB, we are looking to secure the long term success of our State’s Environmental Education plans by implementing a state wide 2020 Vision plan to continue to improve our state’s environment.  To accomplish this, we  have formed the Wisconsin Environmental Education Foundation.  We need your financial support to ensure 20/20 Vision in the future.

We are searching for partners who appreciate our successes, believe in our vision, and have faith in our abilities to continue to successfully shape Wisconsin’s Environmental Tomorrow.

THE VISION

We clearly see a better tomorrow where the people of Wisconsin have the knowledge and desire to actively improve our state’s environment because of the inspirational and relevant teachings they have received regarding Environmental Education.

THE PLAN

This will be accomplished through:

1.      Collaborative efforts between all major stakeholders in Wisconsin’s Environment to work together, with a unified vision, while keeping the best interest of the State’s Environmental health in 2020 (and beyond) as the common thread.

  2.      Diligently planning, continuously doing, frequently checking, and tirelessly acting on those issues that matter to Environmental Education.

  3.      The generous donations of time, talent, and/or financial support from a select few who believe in our vision, trust in our people, and support in our efforts to make Environmental Education a priority for today, because they know it will make a difference for tomorrow

  WHAT WEEB BELIEVES

Environmental literacy and skills are needed by all citizens because environmental stewardship is everyone’s responsibility.

Agencies, educational institutions, private organizations and businesses need to work in partnership to provide quality environmental education for everyone.

  Relevant environmental curricula and instructional materials need to be available and used in all educational delivery systems.

  Model environmental education programs should be encouraged and promoted throughout the state.

  Teachers and other leaders should be able to obtain continuing professional development in order to provide environmental education of the highest possible quality for all citizens of the state.
