Wetland & Environmental Training & Consulting
Course sessions will not be regularly advertised for registration as with most training institutions. The services will be available only on a group contractual bases, since the training is designed principally for government agencies, environmental groups, citizens groups, environmentally-oriented firms, planning firms, and similar organizations. Hence, all lecturing will be held at locations convenient to the clients, such as their own offices or other nearby facilities; all field work will be local as well in order to maximize field time. The local setting for the courses will minimize, if not eliminate, major travel costs for clients. Sessions vary in length and can be customized to meet the specific needs of clients. For example, plant identification sessions generally are between 2 and 5 days depending upon a client’s needs, the intensity of the session, and the difficulty of the plant groups involved. Wetland delineation sessions are generally 4-6 days duration.
Individual session descriptions are available upon request. Rates vary with the type and extent of the training sessions provided, as well as the number of students. Ample training materials, including a course book, will be provided.
WSS remains available, on a contractual bases, to conduct training for other training institutions, something its principal has done since 1972.
