Acquisition of the Preserve was made possible by The Nature Conservancy, a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to conserve biodiversity through protection of ecologically significant natural areas. Funding is awarded to students for work on field projects directed by UW-Green Bay faculty and staff. The application deadline for Point Sauble Field Research Awards is the first Monday in April. Eligible projects may be part of the programs described above, or they may be unfunded work designed under the guidance of a faculty member. Students are typically required to invest approximately 2 hours per week for each academic credit.
Many professional careers involve biodiversity either directly or indirectly.
In the field of education, teachers and naturalists have opportunities to incorporate biodiversity into classroom exercises and field trips.
