Practical Solutions for Challenging Issues

The core objective of the Wilderness Risk Management Conference (WRMC) is to offer an outstanding educational experience to help you mitigate the risks inherent in exploring, working, teaching, and recreating in wild places.

Join us for the 2012 WRMC in Portland, OR at the Red Lion Hotel on the River, October 24-26.

WRMC preconference workshops begin October 21.
