SUMMARY:The Wetland Training Institute: Hydric and Problem Area Soils
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Wetland Training Institute will again be offering a course in Helena this summer. This year’s topic is: \nHydric and Problem Area Soils \nCourse Overview\nThis course begins with 8 hours of online lectures on soil formation\, redoximorphic features\, soil color\, drained hydric soils\, and wetlands not meeting indicators. The 2-day field practicum includes field exercises and additional instruction on regional hydric soil indicators and problematic situations. Informed insights and a focus on field techniques and proper documentation should greatly improve the participant’s command of the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils\, a major aspect of the Regional Supplements for wetland delineation. Field visits will examine natural\, landscaped\, and disturbed conditions and include time for in-depth questioning of a knowledgeable instructor to reinforce the lectures. \nParticipants will receive Lecture Notes\, a Pocket Guide to Hydric Soils Indicators\, and a USB drive containing the current Regional Supplements and other pertinent reference publications. \nExpect to spend a minimum of 8-lecture-contact-hours online and 16 hours in the field. Online lectures can be started (and reviewed) at any time after December 12\, 2022. All online lectures must be completed prior to attending chosen field practicum. Progress through online lectures at your own pace and review as many times as you wish until online courses close on November 30th each year. \nSuccessful completion of course requires completion of online lectures and participation at one in-person 16-contact-hour field session.  \nMore information can be found at: https://wetlandtraining.com/course/hydric-problem-area-soils/[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
