About Us

The Center for Land Use Education (CLUE) is a joint venture of the College of Natural Resources at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point and the University of Wisconsin – Madison Division of Extension. It is a focal point for land use planning and management education.

CLUE was established in 2000 to provide learning opportunities related to land use. We create learning opportunities for communities to help them make sound land use decisions that result in a sustainable Wisconsin. The Land Use Training & Resources series is CLUE’s latest effort to continually expand educational channels for communities throughout the state.
