36-hour wetland delineation training

Gailey Environmental, LLC offers 36-hour Wetland Delineation Training consistent with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory, 1987), and in accordance with the applicable USACE Regional Supplement for wetland delineations. Taught by a Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS), this course will incorporate an equal mix of class and field time that will include basic vegetation identification, detailed review and discussion of wetland hydrology and hydric soil indicators, and proper completion of a Wetland Determination Data Form. This course is intended to provide all attendees with a fundamental understanding of wetland delineation and the proper demarcation of wetland boundaries. The concepts and skills learned during this course can be applied to project-related delineations.
All attendees will receive the following:
We understand that proper plant identification is a critical component for delineations and can be challenging. Although we cannot spend all of the course time on that particular area, the instructor will explain the proper use of various field guides and recommendations for other reference guides. Wetlands are unique and complex natural resources and can sometimes lead to difficult field delineations, even for seasoned delineators. Our goal during this training is not only for the attendees to fully understand the general concepts presented, but encourage all to properly defend their calls, hone their craft and strive for continuous improvement. Classes are limited to 12-15 participants. Tuition $1,400 4-Day Course (36-hours of training) Two classroom days (in person) and two field days (in person) |
