Participants will learn how to correctly classify wetland communities and determine restoration and management needs in this hands-on, skills-based workshop. We will review various classification schemes, and we will practice using wetland characteristics (vegetation, soils, hydrology, landscape setting) to identify different wetland natural communities using the WDNR’s community classification. Participants will also practice using standard resources to evaluate threats to a given wetland, including past land use history, hydrologic alteration, invasive species, and climate change. The workshop will culminate with participants applying what they know or suspect about the soils, vegetation, and hydrology of an example site to determine what management or restoration approaches may be needed.
