A brief description of the institution’s sustainability partnerships with the local community:
There are numerous outreach and extension programs associated with the College of Natural Resources.
The Center for Land Use Education (CLUE) is one example. It is a joint venture of the College of Natural Resources (CNR) at UWSP and Cooperative Extension in collaboration with UW System institutions. It is a focal point for land use planning and management education. CLUE's mission is to create learning opportunities for communities to help them make sound land use decisions that result in a sustainable Wisconsin. Their decisions are legally, ethically, ecologically, and economically sound.
"Eco-Municipalities and Sustainability" is one project of CLUE; there are many others related to sustainability. The Central Wisconsin Sustainability Newsletter is produced by CLUE.
The CNR's WI Center for Environmental Education (WCEE) is focusing on education for sustainability (EfS). The WCEE works with the local community and school district, and partners around the state with other school districts and communities. http://www.uwsp.edu/cnr-ap/wcee/Pages/overview.aspx
Many faculty and staff are members of the Central Rivers Farmshed network and are officers on the executive committee of the nonprofit organization. http://www.farmshed.org/index.php/about-us
