Introduction to Wetland Identification

Virtually all activities conducted in and around wetlands are regulated and violators are subject to hefty penalties and fines from the NJDEP. Knowing if a wetland is on your property or a site on which you work is incredibly important! In this online course, a nationally recognized wetlands expert will review the skills you need to identify freshwater wetlands and their boundaries and introduce you to wetland plant identification and soil recognition. You’ll also find out how to access and use government maps in order to identify wetlands on your property, on lands you may be interested in purchasing, or on properties on which you conduct environmental, landscaping, or other site development or remediation work. You’ll even get a simple introduction to the practice of wetland delineation (the technical skill of determining a wetlands precise boundaries) – all in two half-day sessions!
