Establishing an accurate estimate of the anticipated water budget of a wetland is critical to a project’s success. This online workshop will present how to create a water budget for an existing or planned wetland site. Using the data derived from the site conditions we are then able to create water budget models. We will present traditional modeling approaches as well as a new innovative computer software package that does the challenging work...
Our workshop includes a complete explanation and demonstration of the design model. We will use a real field site to collect data at an existing dam removal mitigation bank. We will compare the pre-removal data with the as-built and field data, and model the overall ecologic uplift for the project. Then it is your turn. Go out and find a local dam, farm pond, or other man-made impoundment. This is a very real, practical and hands-on way to learn how...
Suppose you want to build a new hotel on the perfect plot of land on the outskirts of town. After investigation of the site, you learn to your dismay that there are several federally listed species that would be negatively affected by your development. You find out that if you were hurt or harass any animal, it would count as a take, which is illegal. In order to proceed with your project, you will need to acquire an incidental take permit, which...
A Practitioner’s Workshop: Living Shorelines are a biological solution to erosion at the water’s edge. Many states require that Living Shorelines be used in lieu of traditional bank stabilization approaches such as bulkheads and stone revetments. If properly constructed, Living Shorelines provide both bank stabilization and wildlife habitat. Due to the adaptive biological nature of Living Shorelines, they also adjust to local environmental...
This is a new approach to understanding wetland design. This online workshop will prepare you to diagnose and understand how a wetland should function as well as ways to improve wetland projects in peril.
This is a new approach to understanding wetland design. This live in-person workshop will prepare you to diagnose and understand how a wetland should function as well as ways to improve wetland projects in peril.
This online program will present the latest state of the science protocols for monitoring and managing wetland communities. These methods are used for both constructed wetland mitigation projects as well as existing wetland habitats. These techniques include the use of US Army Corps of Engineers, US EPA and many State and University developed procedures. This class is offered online and includes discussions, presentations, field assignments, and other...
