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! But how do you determine if a wetland is present? Why not educate yourself? 

This  online class will give you the basic tools you need to identify a wetland’s presence. In this 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. Once you make a determination, you will know if you need to go further and hire an environmental professional to evaluate the site and assist you with the permit process.
