VEGETATION IDENTIFICATION - NORTH

May 15 and 16, 2014 Course Code: EH0201CC14 $515 before 5/1/14; $525 after; $495 multiple Since plants are the most obvious clues to wetland boundaries, you cannot delineate a wetland without experience identifying vegetation. In this two-day combination classroom and eld course, botany specialists will teach you how to quickly and condently identify plant species that are important in determining if an area meets the hydrophythic vegetation criterion for wetland delineation. FEATURED TOPICS: Introduction to plant identication ID characteristics Wetland plant indicator status Use of keys in the eld Plant names and groups Basic botanical terminology Woody plant morphology Grass morphology Sedge/Rush morphology LEARN ABOUT: Meadows Restoration areas Emergent wetlands Riparian forest Mature forest Shrubs Field edges Upland-Wetland transition
[Veg ID] provided great depth of knowledge in plant identication.

METHODOLOGY FOR DELINEATING WETLANDS

June 4, 5, 6, and 7, 2014 Course Code: EH0401CB14 $1,030 before 5/21/14; $1,050 after; $990 multiple Learn the methods of the experts! This four-day course will introduce you to delineating wetlands using the Federal Interagency Wetland Delineation Manual, which is required for use in New Jersey. Techniques taught will also be applicable to individuals interested in using the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual as well. Recognize the key indicators of wetlands (hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and wetland hydrology) while expert instructors show you how to use them in following proper delineation methods. Immediately apply criteria learned in the classroom by performing wetland determinations during team eld exercises. VEGETATION: Analyze plant communities and identify dominant plant and indicators of hydrophytic vegetation SOILS: Identify sandy and non-sandy hydric soils based on the National List of hydric soil eld indicators HYDROLOGY: Recognize direct and indirect indicators

WETLAND CONSTRUCTION: PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES

June 16 and 17, 2014 Course Code: EH0602CA14 $695 before 6/2/14; $725 after; $575 with Planning & Functional Design With over thirty-ve years of experience in wetland construction and restoration, your instructor and his colleagues have organized the process of developing a successful wetland construction plan into ve basic steps. Soil scientist and wetland construction expert, Mallory Gilbert, describes and explains critical components of this incremental approach through lecture, case studies, and site visits during this two-day course. PLANNING YOUR PROJECT: In the process of developing a wetland construction plan, you must understand the purpose of the wetland, the ultimate goals of the project, and what fundamental wetland functions your project will be expected to perform. Your overall wetland plan must account for location, size, physiognomy, basic hydrologic regime, and current/future land use. SELECTING YOUR CONSTRUCTION MODEL: You must select appropriate models for construction. The suite of models presented in this class will address specic hydrogeomorphic landscape positions and sources of water. The models introduce the concepts of depth, duration, and timing as critical factors in how wetlands present in the landscape and what functions they are capable of performing. PREPARING YOUR WATER BUDGET & HYDROGRAPH: You must quantify water inputs and outputs to assess the project water budget and then prepare a model Hydrograph that mirrors those of other wetlands in the region. Meaningful hydrograph preparation is reliant upon conscientious data collection and careful interpretation. Creating a hydrogeomorphic hybrid wetland system is an all too common pitfall that can be avoided with a proper hydrologic analysis. DETERMINING PROPER VEGETATION: Vegetation adaptation, selection, and planting are keys to any successful wetland construction plan. You must verify adaptive modes of the plants you plan to introduce, as well as probable volunteer species, to ensure that they will be suitable for your planned wetland hydrologic regimes. MANIPULATING SOIL: Sub-grade soil permeability must be suitable for the hydrogeomorphic model you plan to develop. In addition, the living substrate soils of your wetland must also be suitable to support selected vegetation in texture, structure, and nutrient composition.

WETLAND CONSTRUCTION: PLANNING AND FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

September 8 and 9, 2014 Course Code: EH0603CA15 $695 before 8/25/14; $725 after; $575 with Principles & Techniques Calculation of the amount, depth, duration, and timing of water anticipated in a constructed wetland is an essential element for preparing functional wetland designs. Build upon your wetland construction knowledge with this course, as it provides you with specic directions for preparing and comparing hydrographs for wetland construction projects. The single biggest mistake in botched wetland construction projects is failure to understand the amount and seasonal distribution of water over time. Learn about depth, duration and timing of water, and how to calculate and anticipate hydrologic patterns before your wetland is constructed! You will learn about: HYDROGEOMORPHOLOGY: a wetland construction planning tool WATER BUDGET CALCULATION: inputs/outputs and TR-55 runo curves THORNTHWAITE METHOD: used for predicting evapotranspiration ESTIMATING STREAM FLOW & PRODUCING BASIC HYDROGRAPHS

When you delineate wetlands without the proper training or experience, you run the risk of regulatory and career repercussions. Wetlands training can be dicult to grasp if you start your education in an advanced course. Dont make the mistake of jumping into the Methodology for Delineating Wetlands course without rst being exposed to the basic principles of wetland delineation in this course! This one-day combination classroom and eld course, led by wetland expert, Ralph Tiner will teach you the basics of wetland identication and introduce you to the practice of wetland delineation. It will provide the essential background material needed for further study in the eld of wetland delineation. Come review the skills you need to begin to identify freshwater wetlands and their boundaries!
Well worth the time and money! Informative and a good introduction.

This one-day class is meant for pond owners, pond managers, landscape architects, engineers ... anyone involved with the design, management or maintenance of ponds! It is structured to help you make the proper decisions regarding the appearance, function and/or up-keep of your pond. Starting with design, learn how to build a pond, including the construction of embankments and dams, and the selection and installation of liners. Then learn how to create and maintain a stable shoreline, create and aquascape littoral benches, and optimize habitat for sh and aquatic wildlife. In terms of the long-term maintenance of ponds whether constructed for stormwater, irrigation, shing or aesthetic purposes this course provides the answers. LEARN HOW TO: Properly select, use and apply aquatic pesticides to control invasive aquatic weeds and algae; Make use of non-pesticide, environmentally friendly techniques to control invasive aquatic weeds and algae; Design and implement a dredging project, including the proper navigation of the environmental rules and regulations; and, Correctly select, size, and install various types of pond aeration systems.

FEATURED TOPICS: Wetland denitions and concepts Wetland hydrology indicators Wetland vegetation - hydrophytic plant indicators Wetland soils - soil colors, hydric soil indicators Wetland types - wetland classication, wetland maps Review of wetland plant characteristics
[Ralph] has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and a good sense of humor
