EWN Proving Grounds are USACE districts and divisions dedicated to advancing the integration of Engineering With Nature principles across missions. These sites serve as testing grounds for innovative approaches, where ideas are put into practice and refined. By documenting processes, project milestones, and lessons learned, Proving Grounds create a foundation for broader adoption and continuous improvement across USACE.
Engineering With Nature® is the intentional alignment of natural and engineering processes to efficiently and effectively deliver economic, ecological, and social benefits through collaboration.
