Introduction to Wetland Identification

When you delineate wetlands without the proper training or experience, you run the risk of regulatory and career repercussions. Wetlands training can be difficult to grasp if you start your education in an advanced course. Don’t make the mistake of jumping into the Methodology for Delineating Wetlands course without first being exposed to the basic principles of wetland identification in this course.
