MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Gov. Jim Doyle is making a 3-day swing through western Wisconsin.

The governor said the trip that starts Wednesday is meant to encourage tourism, promote environmental initiatives and hear concerns from government and business leaders.

Doyle starts with a visit to a museum in Cassville and ends with a joint news conference with Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty in Hudson on Friday.

In between, he plans to visit Wyalusing (weye-ah-LOO'-sing) State Park, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum and an organic dairy farm, among other places.

He'll also give the keynote address to the Wisconsin Science and Technology Symposium at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse on Thursday.
