Our Vision
We envision a world where the relationship between communities and the environment creates prosperity for all.
Our Mission
Watershed Management Group (WMG) develops community-based solutions to ensure the long-term prosperity of people and health of the environment. We provide people with the knowledge, skills, and resources for sustainable livelihoods.
Our Values
Hope
We are optimistic about the future and about people’s ability to make positive change. We believe that collective everyday actions can change the
world.
Inter-Connection
We recognize our reliance on and relationship with each other and our environment as inextricably and necessarily collaborative. All our human and
non-human relationships must be healthy and mutually beneficial to thrive.
Solutions-Oriented
We believe every challenge has a solution, and we focus our energies on identifying, implementing, and adapting those solutions.
Responsive (We Are One Watershed)
We strive to be responsive to the different needs of our communities and ecosystems and recognize that – to restore the watershed – this rich
diversity is integral to these efforts.
Accountability
We value taking responsibility for our actions, practicing humility to build trust, learning from our mistakes, and growing to become more effective.
Fun
We value interacting with each other and the community with a kind, upbeat, engaging, adventurous, and positive attitude and strive to make our
work enjoyable.
Geographic Focus
Watershed Management Group has a strong focus on improving desert ecosystems. We are based in Tucson, Arizona, and have developed deep roots and an enduring history here. We also regularly work in the Phoenix Valley, other southern Arizona communities, and in the Arizona, U.S.-Sonora, Mexico border region. Our training and community demonstration site work has also taken us to communities throughout the Desert Southwest, Mexico, and beyond. You can see a comprehensive map of all our project sites online.
