- Description
In 1935, the Wisconsin Legislature passed the nation's first statute requiring the teaching of conservation in public schools. In 1948, the Department of Public Instruction created a Conservation Curriculum Committee comprised of representatives of various state and educational agencies to devise conservation education guides and to organize workshops for teachers. This guide, produced in 1949, provided resources and suggestions for teachers to help implement conservation lessons in the classroom.
