The Next Phase of EEinWisconsin.org
State's Clearinghouse Website Takes a New Approach
For more than a decade, the EEinWisconsin.org clearinghouse website provided a common entry point to connect environmental education efforts across Wisconsin. More than 700 organizations, schools, and thousands of users found and shared events, resources, grants, and more. Due to aging technology infrastructure and the rise of organizational website and social media platforms, the original website has been retired and replaced with a new landing page.
We know there is power in the collective, and collaboration in the Wisconsin EE community is strong, so the new EEinWisconsin.org landing page still serves as the entry point. However, rather than having all resources centralized in one place, FIELD Edventures, Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin, WAEE, Wisconsin Center for Environmental Education, and the Wisconsin Departments of Natural Resources and Public Instruction have coordinated efforts to host similar content, but spread across our organizational websites.
WAEE now hosts pages for jobs and internships, grants and funding, and awards and contests. Additionally, we are working on building an EE Organizational Directory. This will be an evolving project.
