SUMMARY:Wetland Delineation
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time:\nFriday\, September 18\, 2026\, 9:00am–6:00pm\nSaturday\, September 19\, 2026\, 9:00am–4:00pm \nInstructors:\nAlice L. Thompson is a wetland ecologist and an independent wetland consultant since 1989. She is certified by the Society of Wetland Scientists as a Senior Professional Wetland Scientist (SPWS)\, and by the WDNR as an “assured” wetland delineator since 2006. She obtained a Master’s degree in biological sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1995.  Her professional interests include wetland delineation\, restoration\, mitigation\, and the control of invasive plant species. She enjoys sharing wetland delineation knowledge in a field course format. \nThe Course:\nThis course is a practical field-oriented guide to wetland delineation. Wetland delineation is the practice of locating the boundary between what is a wetland\, and thus regulated by state and federal law\, and what is upland. We will discuss what determines a wetland and how to identify and document wetland vegetation\, soils and hydrology during a delineation. We will dig soil pits\, identify vegetation\, look for signs of hydrology\, and physically stake the wetland boundary in the field. In the lab we will discuss the basics of completed data sheets and accurate reporting as well as regulatory oversight. This course is intended for beginners and will focus on relatively undisturbed wetlands present on the UWM Field Station. You can get your feet wet and decide if you want to learn more and make a career of wetland delineation or understand wetland identification for other purposes. Wetland delineation is an important tool for the protection of wetlands\, and is very challenging but rewarding work. \nClass Schedule:\nFriday 9 am – 6 pm & Saturday 9 am – 4 pm.\nDiscussion\, individual study in the lab\, or social activities are available Friday evening. \nUseful materials to bring:\nStudents should come prepared to get wet and/or muddy for the field component\, and dress appropriately for outdoors. Wading will not be required\, but rubber boots may be useful for soggy wet ground. \n\nlong sleeves\nlong pants\na hat for sun\,\na water bottle\na field notebook\nany plant identification guides that you have\n\nThe following items will be useful\, so bring them along if you have them: \n\nsharpshooter shovel (long\, narrow bladed shovel)\nsoil corer\nMunsell soil color book\nfolding ruler\nclipboard\ncamera\n\nLodging Accommodations & Food:\nThe workshop fee does not include overnight accommodations.
