PWD certification
 
  • The PWD certificate is a certification of competency. We rely upon the PWD’s to lead, guide, mentor, and set a high standard of conduct for the delineations we perform for clients.
  • One recent client testimonial was "...one of the PWD certified staff undid an obvious mistake and/ or illogical conclusion by our previous wetlands man."  This showed that the public was not protected by allowing unqualified individuals to perform the work.
  • Certifications give credibility from the perspectives of clients and the agencies we interact with.
  • Many localities require “qualified wetland experts” to conduct the delineations that are shown on site plans – having PWD’s satisfies this requirement.
