Merrill School Forest

Due to the expected weather and the need to get our crews out clearing snow, any group or event that is scheduled to use any MAPS facility on Sunday is cancelled. All MAPS facilities will be closed on Sunday. Please share.

Annually, the WI Land+Water Conservation Association holds Youth Conservation Camps during the summer. They offer two camps - one for middle school and another for high school students.

It is important to note that there are scholarship opportunities available for students that are interested in attending.

Camp agendas are in development. Each camp offers hands-on learning opportunities to students. Some examples of past camp activities are: canoeing, bird banding, completing fish surveys, completing loon surveys, assisting with shoreline stabilization projects, visiting Lake Superior, fishing, and more. For these camps, WI Land+Water coordinates with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR), UW-Extension, Tribal Representatives, and various non-profits to offer insights into natural resources management and showcase various career opportunities.
