WOCA members celebrated the 50th anniversary year of the Wisconsin Outdoor Communicators Association with a robust turnout and dinner.

Registration for the Wisconsin Outdoor Communicators annual meeting and workshop on July 31 and August 1 in Eagle River is now open! Here’s a link to the informative 2026 agenda. Rub elbows with pros in outdoor communication. Join us!

Nineteen folks attended the 2025 workshop, a cookout was honchoed by chefs Ron Weber and Bob Haase, and members enjoyed a wide range of speakers on ice fishing, public forests, the glowing success of wild turkeys reintroduced in Wisconsin, the world’s largest musky shop, wildlife rehabilitation, CWD spread, tick borne disease, trends among deer hunters, and more.

Matthew Crawford, a junior in Communications at UW-LaCrosse, is the winner of the WOCA OHEC scholarship for 2025!
