Wetland Functional Assessments

 

Wisconsin Rapid Assessment Method (WiRAM)
In partnership with the National Association of Wetland Managers (NAWM), the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) provided an introductory virtual training on the use of a new wetland functional value assessment tool, the WI Rapid Assessment Method (WiRAM). The WiRAM is an excel-based tool based on standardized GIS mapping tools and a clear set of field-based questions and is a requirement for Wetland Individual Permit applications in Wisconsin.

During the virtual training session, trainers walked through the user guide and the suite of desktop-based questions in the WiRAM Excel tool and provided an overview of field-based work. Working knowledge of EnviroAtlas is strongly encouraged for using the WiRAM tool.
