Natural Resources

WRP Committees work to better improve regional and interagency cooperation among Federal agencies, Tribal leadership, States, and non-governmental organizations on critical Western regional issues. They provide a forum for information exchange, issue identification, problem solving and recommendations across the WRP region. Committees are continually reviewed to maintain a resilient and dynamic organization.

Natural Resources Committee Activities

• Work collaboratively with WRP Partners to preclude or delist species through coordinated conservation efforts in order to mitigate regulatory restrictions. Identify potential gaps and leverage existing ongoing efforts to maximize efficiencies.
• Serve as a resource for WRP Partners in their regional/landscape-level conservation efforts (e.g. Sentinel Landscape efforts, etc.).
• Assist WRP Partners in engaging in ongoing dialogue on western water sustainability.
