The Watershed Management Professional Program (WMPP) brings simple
watershed concepts like land management and restoration as well as the
everyday complexities underlying them, into sharp focus for
professionals engaged in watershed protection, restoration and
management activities. We use participant's experience in combination
with skillful presentations by knowledgeable experts to prepare the
class for the complex and intertwining challenges of:
Law
Social and Legal Processes
Ecology
Physics and other Scientific Disciplines
Economics
Community Organizing
Dynamics of Social Change, and
Other challenges inherent in watershed management
The Watershed Management Professional Program is a program of the Executive Leadership Institute at Portland State University.
The goal of the Executive Leadership Institute is to extend the mission
of the Hatfield School of Government to the various external
communities served by the School. The Institute accomplishes this
mission by undertaking a variety of leadership and community
development programs that seek to improve the quality of public service
and to strengthen democratic governance in communities throughout the
Pacific Northwest.
