Conservation Heroes Scholarship
The Conservation Heroes Scholarship fund in the UW-Stevens Point Foundation provides scholarship awards for worthy students in the College of Natural Resources while permanently honoring individual conservation “heroes” from all walks of life. As the fund grows, we hope to pay tribute to a long list of everyday conservation heroes and inspire the students receiving these awards to aspire to be conservation heroes themselves.

Under his leadership, Treehaven eventually grew to be a nationally recognized year-round environmental learning center hosting nearly 20,000 visitors each year, including the College’s renowned 6-week Summer Field Course. This scholarship is supported by an endowment fund created by the Dorothy Kopmeier Vallier Foundation to support students attending the College’s Summer Field Course at Treehaven.
