PWS Seal
The SWSPCP is proud to announce that we have developed a new Seal for use by Professional Wetland Scientists. We have developed this new seal in response to PWS's wanting a way to show their level of certification on delineations, reports, and mitigation. The new seal, designed by Board Member R. Harold Jones, is a great idea for PWS's to showcase their certification and skill level. The seal is completely unique to each individuals PWS. It contains the SWSPCP logo, the phrase "Professional Wetland Scientist", the individual's name, and PWS number.
