Wetland Delineation Professional Assurance Program
The goal of the WDNR program is to protect the state’s wetlands and provide a high level of certainty about wetland boundaries during the project planning process. This also reduces time the state would need to spend reviewing wetland boundaries because these assured professionals meet established criteria set by the WDNR.
