Wisconsin Women in Conservation (WiWiC) is a newly established group for women on a conservation journey. They are a group of farmers and conservation professionals looking to nurture the lands and themselves. WiWiC was created to connect, empower, educate, and inspir
e women to help protect their land for generations to come.
They have drawn in women who have adopted soil health and are willing to serve as mentions and are always looking for new faces, whether they have already started their path to conserving the land or are looking to learn more.
WiWiC cultivates connections, identifies resources, and amplifies stories of women stewarding the land. They partnership is led by Michael Fields Agricultural Institute with support from NRCS, and additional partnerships with Wisconsin Farmers Union, Renewing the Countryside, Midwest Organics and Sustainable Education Service.
They have a number of events coming up:
