About the UW-Extension Office at the
Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center

Mission

Through education, our UW-Extension office at the NGLVC, inspires and empowers people to create a healthy, sustainable Lake Superior Region.

As a UW-Extension natural resource education center, we engage people to understand issues affecting the sustainability of the Lake Superior Basin.

Through partnerships with community organizations, businesses, tribes, and individuals, we provide educational programs that promote stewardship of the region’s natural resources for the benefit of communities and cultures that rely on them.

As a leader in providing research-based freshwater estuary and coastal wetland educational outreach, we work in partnership with the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) and the Wisconsin Freshwater Estuary Initiative to insure the sustainability of these unique environments.

 

The NGLVC is a partnership between the USDA Forest Service, National Park Service, State Historical Society of Wisconsin, University of Wisconsin - Extension, US Fish & Wildlife Service, and the Friends of the Center Alliance, Ltd.
