Workshops
| Programmatic | Technical | Workshops On Demand |
Our program is split into two levels - Technical Leadership and Program Leadership.
- Technical Leadership workshops emphasize fisheries, wildlife and botany and include "Workshops on Demand".
- Program Leadership workshops are applicable to all natural resource professionals, addressing the topics of policy, leadership, communications, values, economics, program management, budget, and personnel.
A Calendar of workshops is available for quick assessment - grouped by topic then by date.
If you would like information on past evaluations or past participants, please contact Shelly Witt (CE-WFW Program Leader) at 435-881-4203 or via email.

Utah State University
Dr. Brett Roper (USDA Forest Service, and Adjunct Professor, USU Department of Fisheries & Wildlife) offers assorted aquatic workshop topics "on demand". He will work with you on hosting aquatic workshops in your area. Generally there is a 10 to 15 participant minimum. We encourage you to invite natural resource professionals from your area (other federal agencies, tribal organizations, state, city, private, international and companies). Develop your curriculum with Brett to best meet your needs. Length of the workshop is variable depending on your needs. Brett is also open to topic requests, if you can't find what you need already listed.

Sandra Jacobson and Terry Brennan offer "Planning for Environmentally-Sensitive Highway Projects.
Objective: streamline and improve delivery of an environmentally-sensitive highway project using the context-sensitive planning approach in an interdisciplinary and interagency planning team. Instructors are an interdisciplinary team (transportation ecology specialists: wildlife biologists, engineers, hydrologists, soil scientists, botanists, and recreation planners). Target audience: interagency, interdisciplinary team and line officers working together on a multi-year project including highway project planning. Topics include agency differences in NEPA, time lines, funding mechanisms and policy. Course structure might allow some disciplines to participate for less than the entire week.
