The Wetland Managers Group (WMG) consists of staff members from the public agencies that make up the WRP. The group meets on a quarterly basis to make vital decisions that guide our programmatic and project goals. They work collaboratively to identify a set of projects for the Work Plan and other activities to implement the WRP Regional Strategy. The group also facilitates inter-agency coordination and coordinates technical workshops, symposia, and conferences. The Wetland Managers Group also works closely with the WRP Science Advisory Panel to provide input and guidance on key scientific questions and resource management tools.
We have one annual WMG meeting open to the public per year and we post the agenda two weeks prior.
