The Wisconsin Geological Society Inc. (WGS) is a Wisconsin society with a membership predominantly in the southeastern Counties of the State. WGS provides access to elements that are essential to the professional growth of earth scientists at all levels of expertise and from all sectors: academic, government, business, students, and industry. The Society unites thousands of earth scientists, members of the public, children with interest, from all over the Midwest in a common purpose to study the mysteries of our planet (and beyond) and share scientific findings. WGS is supported, in part, by funds donated to and raised by the WGS Foundation.
