Welcome to the West Eugene Wetlands Case Web Site. This site offers a wide range of documents related to a real-life case of successful conflict resolution involving wetlands discovered in west Eugene, Oregon. At Rice University, a team of faculty and graduate students involved in the West Eugene Wetlands Web Site Project have collected and linked these resources to make them available to people who should use this web site. You can become involved in the site's simulation opportunities or you can select resources from lists of documents, maps, reports, and images.
