Planning Hydrology, Vegetation, and Soils for Constructed Wetlands

5 Days - $1100

 

This course covers critical elements for construction and restoration of wetlands. These principles are requisite for constructing wetlands for individual mitigation projects and for mitigation banks regardless of the size of the project. The elements required to prepare a plan for constructing or restoring wetlands are covered including establishing goals, site selection, defining and quantifying hydrology, preparing vegetation plans, and establishing a proper soil substrate. A field trip, emphasizing hydrology and site selection, will focus on features that caused success and failure and how to avoid the failure. On completion, participants should be able to prepare all of the critical elements for wetland construction and restoration plans. The manuscript, Wetlands for Mitigation: Hydrology, Vegetation, and Soils, by Gary Pierce and Malory Gilbert, is provided.

Instructor: G. Pierce.
