Participants will be added to a list of delineators provided to federal, state and local officials. Basic Workshop - two sessions: August 12-14 Cartwright Center, UW-L August 26-28 Country Inn Hotel & Conference Center, Waukesha Advanced Workshop - two sessions: August 14-16 Cartwright Center, UW-L August 28-30 Country Inn Hotel and Conference Center, Waukesha Basic Plant Identification for Wetland Delineation This new, two and one-half day workshop is being developed in response to the survey responses received from past Basic and Advanced Wetland Delineation workshop participants. This workshop will introduce participants to the process of identifying wetland and aquatic plants using technical keys. No prior use of keys or previous identification experience is assumed, making this truly a "basic" course. Planned workshop activities include an introduction to plant keys and plant key structure during the morning of day one. Participants will learn basic plant structure and morphology during the afternoon of day one. Woody (trees and shrubs) plant identification will be emphasized during the morning of day two. Herbaceous plant identification (with emphasis on rushes, sedges and grasses) will be the focus during the afternoon of day two and the morning of day three. A survey will conclude the planned activities. A mixture of lab and fieldwork is planned.
