In collaboration with Wisconsin Sea Grant, Upham Woods has developed a series of virtual and interactive tours of Wisconsin coastal cities that feature natural, historical, and cultural assets of the area. These tours were developed using ArcGIS StoryMap and aim to:

• increase awareness of natural, cultural, and historical coastal issues both locally and statewide
• increase access to the relevant and on-going coastal issues for both local and non-local participants
• engage all of Wisconsin and help develop Wisconsin’s identity as a coastal state
• bridge virtual and in-person experiences using a novel approach to place-based learning

The Great Lakes Quests contain interactive educational components including links to external content, inquiry-based questions, and quizzes. Each correct quiz answer reveals a clue that spells a final word that’s significant to the coastal city. Click the access button on this page to learn how to quest with a video tutorial.
