Land Use Education & Training:
Training & Techincal Assistance

A FREE training opportunity to access and use comprehensive planning data and information sources maintained by Wisconsin state agencies

The Changing Landscapes workshops are part of a larger effort to help support land use decisions in the state. Participants at the workshops will evaluate a selection of decision support and impact assessment tools in an effort to determine which tools are the most accessible and useful to local decision-makers.

The Center for Land Use Education is a joint venture of the College of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point and Cooperative Extension in collaboration with UW systems institutions. It is the state's focal point for land use planning and management education.

The mission of the Local Government Center is to provide focus, coordination, and leadership to UW System educational programs for local government, and to expand the research and knowledge base for local government education. The Center conducts and coordinates educational programming in general local government, local government finance, growth management, and community planning and design. Educational programs are delivered through the two-way audio Educational Telecommunications Network (ETN), satellite television, and statewide and regional workshops. The Center supports the programming of county-based Extension faculty.
