Maintenance of Professional Lands Management Certification
NALMA Professional Lands Management Certification is used across Canada to signify that a Lands Manager meets specific criteria, keeps current in the field, and adheres to a professional Code of Ethics. It represents both an achievement and a responsibility for the individual Lands Manager.
The maintenance of Professional Lands Management Certification process is self-directed and supports the concept of continuous professional development and lifelong learning.
