Nature Education Programs

At WisCorps, we believe that environmental and nature education is crucial to the development of schoolchildren, youth, and adults through quality learning experiences in nature and with a positive and welcoming atmosphere.

Our goal is to foster appreciation and a sense of stewardship for the environment and our natural resources throughout the La Crosse community and surrounding area as a whole.

As a result, individuals will develop a deeper understanding of environmental issues and have the skills to make informed and responsible decisions.
