Why - Benefits of creating a unified theme and fostering information sharing:Theoretically – economy in bulk; not re-inventing the wheel; increased efficiency; team approach; Build Capacity for on-going efforts; Uniqueness of UWEX - connection to research and other experts – Steve Deller/Economics; reduce work overall; pull from resources already developed; Allow you to tap into resources that can be localized to a particular AOC; Partnership that complements the Office of Great Lakes; Allows DNR to focus on the more technical while UWEX can focus on Outreach and Communication. Value – helps to unify the AOCs that are separated by long distance – umbrella along with OGL; Explore- Reconnect with the Rivers – either take them for granted or think of them as a lost cause; positive twist; vetted them; peer and stakeholder; How the them evolved.

Our goal is to help build capacity for ongoing work to remove impairments and delist the Areas of Concern.
A team approach across the state allows us to help each other with specialized skills: -messaging-design-website development
We don’t have to reinvent the wheel, but instead can create templates for fact sheets, displays, brochures, photo library, events…
The Wisconsin Idea is the principle that the university should improve people’s lives beyond the classroom. It spans UW–Madison’s teaching, research, outreach and public service.
We teach, learn, lead and serve, connecting people with the University of Wisconsin, and engaging with them in transforming lives and communities.
