Wet Lands
The Wet Lands workshop goes over the basic functions and values of wetlands, as well as the regulatory issues surrounding wetland protection and wetland/watercourse buffers. This workshop is a partnership between Cooperative Extension and the Connecticut Sea Grant College Program.
You will learn:
- How wetlands and watercourses are defined and identified.
- Functions and values of wetlands and watercourses.
- Impacts of development and land use on wet lands.
- Wet lands protection: how it is or can be done.
- Hot issues: buffers, wetland restoration, creation and mitigation.
PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is intended for land use commissions that do not have a direct regulatory role over inland wetlands and watercourses (i.e. Planning, Zoning and Conservation Commissions). Inland Wetland commission members seeking education should contact CT DEP.
The workshop is free of charge and about 1 hour long. We recommend scheduling 2 hours to allow for discussion and questions. Contact CT NEMO at nemo@uconn.edu or call (860) 345-4511 to schedule a workshop.
