Program Overview

The WMPP is designed for public and private resource professionals who want to deepen and broaden their knowledge base, expand upon and gain the full benefit of their own experience to further their personal effectiveness and careers.

Our faculty are professionals with extensive experience in public policy, law, social change, biology, geomorphology, ecology, landscape restoration, and education. All of our faculty consistently receive the highest ratings for both their ability to communicate and the power and practicality of the material they present. The materials and information in the courses are presented in a powerful, sometimes provocative manner that is respectful of a diversity of backgrounds, opinions and experience. The faculty work hard to make sure the courses are co-produced -- using the experience and background of the participants to bear on the questions and materials in the course. Faculty become resources for the learning of the participants. Past participants have reported the ability to immediately apply the knowledge gained in WMPP courses to the watersheds where they are working.
