The USGS Fort Collins Science Center (FORT) and the Natural Resources Leadership Academy (NRLA) at Washington State University recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding formalizing their cooperation in providing essential dispute-resolution training to natural resource professionals.

Small group facilitation skills
Applied learning practicum projects
