This series is des igned to be participant-centered, include active discussion of Wild & S cenic River (WSR) related topics, and empower participants to connect with colleagues throughout the learning series. Our goal is for you to leave the sessions better equipped to engage in WSR planning, monitoring and decisio n-making processes.

RMS River Training Center instructors will facilitate the se ries using Zoom, interactive Google products, Padlet, and other virtual lea rning tools. It is important that participants can fully access and engage with these tools during the Zoom sessions with their cameras on and microph ones enabled, ready to connect and learn together. Participation in all six sessions is requested but not required.
Mater ials are aligned with the vision of the Interagency Wild & Scenic River s Coordinating Council and the Technical Core Competencies for River Management Specialists and Non-Specialists. You can find more WSR training resources here or at rivers.gov.< /span>
