After a year or more of wetland delineation practice, many delineators find they could benefit from a course that provides a refresher on the basics and dives deeper into the real-life topics that would expand their field skills. WTI is proud to offer a course exactly for that need. The course provides a series of online lectures and readings that immerse participants fully into Chapter 5 of the COE Regional Supplements, the procedures provided to make wetland determinations on the “Difficult Wetland Situations” for the region. Topics will include interpretations of landforms and hydrology, soil morphological features in disturbed and problematic soils, locally pertinent Hydric Soil Indicator insights, Normal Circumstances and Normal Climatic conditions, and more. After all lectures are completed (approximately 10 hours), you will attend a 2-day field session (16 hours) with a highly seasoned delineator and instructor. Each day, the field session will stop at 3 to 4 locations to collect data, discuss field findings, delineation techniques, pitfalls, soil/hydrology indicators, regionally specific disturbances or naturally challenging sites, and wetland mapping and reporting. Field sessions are generally held rain or shine, unless conditions such as storms or heat are dangerous, in which case arrangements are made for alternative learning.
Field Practicum: May 20 – 21, 2025, Manchester, NH
