A Wetland Primer, Advanced: Field Evaluation & Permitting Considerations

This 2-hour interactive online course is a follow-up to ‘A Wetland Primer For Design Professionals’ by the same author. Although a basic understanding of wetlands–crucial for architects, engineers, land surveyors and landscape architects–is mastered in that first course, design professionals often need a broader understanding of why wetlands play an increasingly important role in site considerations, and how they are identified. This course does exactly that, in a easily understood series of steps.

There will be a multiple-choice quiz at the end of this course.
