WWA’s Educational Programs:

WWA and our volunteers are active in many outdoor education outreach efforts.  Check them out here:

Unique educational opportunity:

WWA has one unique education-based property: our long-term project at Abrams, just north of Green Bay. This property, the only property that WWA actually owns, located at the split of US 41 and US 141; between Green Bay & Oconto, currently encompasses 152 acres, and is a mix of wetland mitigation, natural wetlands, riverine, mixed upland, and woodland habitats. This property is open to the public for hunting and other recreational pursuits, as well as use by local students of all ages, as an outdoor laboratory. Our team of volunteers in Green Bay is highly focused on this property, and is in the midst of a multi-phase process of developing the property, both for further use in education, but also with a special focus on accessibility for disabled individuals, providing unique access and custom blinds for hunters who might not otherwise get to experience the outstanding waterfowl hunting that is available near the waters of Green Bay. We have partnered with Oconto County, Challenge the Outdoors, the Lumberjack RC & D Corporation, and the State of Wisconsin Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund, as well as many private companies and individuals, to accomplish the many tasks that are required at this property, to bring it to its full potential.
