The Expo provides Wisconsin students with learning and participation opportunities in the outdoors, the Expo 2008 will communicate the relevance of wildlife and habitat management in our lives. The Expo 2008 will teach outdoors skills, encourage ethical behavior and perpetuate Wisconsin’s hunting, fishing and conservation heritage. Throughout the planning for this event, we are concentrating on children in order to build the heritage of Wisconsin’s commitment to outdoor activities.

The Expo 2008 will focus on “hands-on” activities and participation, and will use these opportunities to introduce schoolchildren to wildlife-related outdoor skills, natural resources, conservation and management concepts. The Expo 2008 will be structured with at least seven separate “camps” where kids and families will be able to learn about and participate in outdoor activities:Archery, Dogs, Camping and Trail Recreation, Fishing, Firearm Safety, Conservation Heritage and Wildlife Trail.

At Expo 2007, held in May, 4000+ (up 800 from 2006) fourth and fifth grade students from throughout Wisconsin participated in “see, touch, and do” activities such as fishing, archery, camping skills, outdoor heritage and natural resource conservation concepts. At least 600 teachers and chaperones accompanied theses students on Friday. The Expo was open to the public on Saturday and over 750 parents, grandparents and children attended this free event. Consequently, at least 5350 students, teachers and family members attended the Expo, in spite of high fuel prices.
