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 John Rozum at john.rozum@uconn.edu or
call (860) 345-5225 to schedule a workshop.
