Wisconsin’s beautiful and abundant natural resources — and the industries they support — fuel our economy and enrich our communities and culture. At the UW–Madison Division of Extension, we are dedicated to cultivating the next generation of natural resource professionals through mentoring, internships, advanced training, and paid, hands-on experiences. By supporting the Extension Natural Resources Institute, you can help high school students, college students, graduate students, and early-career professionals gain critical exposure and career skills in water resource management, forestry, geology, conservation, and more.
Your gift will help provide critical opportunities for learners at every stage: introducing high school students to water science careers, offering internships for undergraduates, and funding research fellowships for graduate students and post-doctoral professionals. With your support, we can connect motivated youth and emerging leaders to the experiences they need to succeed — ensuring Wisconsin’s natural resources thrive for generations to come.
