2026 CNR Scholarship Booklet

Jay and Christine Reed Conservation Scholarship

This scholarship honors the memory of Jay and Christine Reed. Jay was one of Wisconsin’s best known and respected outdoor writers who died in 2002. For nearly 40 years he wrote for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and The Milwaukee Journal, demonstrating a passion for conservation and the outdoors. Christine, who passed away in June 2019, served for many years as senior executive secretary to the editor of The Milwaukee Journal. Like Jay she loved dogs, and after Jay’s death she published the book, “Thor & More: The Best-Loved Columns of Jay Reed” and donated the sale proceeds to create this scholarship.
