WSO promotes education.

WSO provides informational and educational materials in the areas of ornithology, environment, and conservation including:

• writing Fact Sheets about important bird-related topics.

• establishing a special Youth Grant Program to work with teachers and to develop programs specifically for youth.

• maintaining a current listing of approximately 275 significant national and state Bird/Nature Organizations.

• exhibiting at various state and regional environmental and conservation events.

• presenting a biennial ornithological symposium.

• maintaining a Speakers Bureau listing for other organizations and a Birder Contacts listing for use by individuals.

• actively supporting Wisconsin's Neotropical Partners in Flight program.

• developing a Bird Monitoring Kit Program to enable educators to introduce students to birds and their habitats while exploring the outdoors.
