Student Reviews

Glenn Calabrse, NJ Wetlands Management for LSRPs Course Attendee

“This type of course was way overdue. It is a serious course for LSRPs and non-LSRPs that can be used immediately. The slides were in-depth with photographs that complimented the text. They can be used by LSRPs as a how-to-handbook with references to other required information. The instructor’s real-life experience and technical expertise in all facets of wetland delineation, permitting, mitigation, and restoration shone through.”
