Watershed Management Group (WMG) develops community-based solutions to 
ensure the long-term prosperity of people and health of the environment. 
We provide people with the knowledge, skills, and resources for 
sustainable livelihoods.


      Our Vision

Watershed Management Group (WMG) envisions a world in which:

    * everyone has the natural resources they need while ensuring
      adequate resources for future generations through wise and
      creative management;
    * communities cooperatively and sustainably manage the natural
      resources within their watershed;
    * communities develop in concert with their environment, and the
      success of development is measured by the health of ecological
      systems, the prosperity of people, and the strength of communities.

* *
WMG’s work is built on the day-to-day interactions of our staff with 
community members. We believe community-based conservation and 
development is the key to enhancing our quality of life for ours and 
future generations.
