One Watershed, One Plan
One Watershed, One Plan (1W1P) is a program through the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) that supports partnerships of local governments to develop prioritized, targeted, and measurable comprehensive watershed plans.

HEI's team has worked with and continues to work with partners in various watersheds across Minnesota to develop these groundbreaking projects. Learn more about HEI's 1W1P experience.
