Volunteers Enhance WCHF Stories

The Wisconsin Conservation Hall of Fame website is an archive of the stories that have shaped Wisconsin conservation history. Our website is well-visited, with people of all ages from around the world seeking information about the Inductees. We are always looking to expand our resource collection to help website visitors even better understand the makings of a conservation hero.

We can enhance the stories we tell about our Inductees with the help of family members and colleagues of our Inductees. When added to our existing resource library, old family photos of an Inductee in their element or a letter they wrote to a colleague help paint a picture of what inspired conservation action and leadership. When people closest to the Inductees share photos, documents and memories we are often able to make these valuable resources available to the public. Every WCHF Inductee has their own web page, and we continually add to these pages.

We recently worked with children of Inductees Joseph Hickey, Richard A. Hemp and Charles H. Stoddard to add images and documents to their web pages to better tell their stories. If you have photos and resources from a WCHF Inductee, we would like to work with you to post these items on the WCHF website. To engage in this process, contact the WCHF at wchfame@gmail.com.
