Student Reviews
“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.”
On instructor Charles Harman: “Chuck had concise slides, and covered the most essential topics. As a consultant presenting to consultants, he didn’t hold back his knowledge and real-life experiences.”
Most useful aspect of the course: “Discussion of permits/permit application process.”
