Wetland Construction: Principles, Planning, and Design (Online Training Course)

Pre-registration required at cpe.rutgers.edu/wetlands/wetland-construction
Learn the functional hydrologic approach to wetland construction that was pioneered at Rutgers!
As state and federal wetland mitigation standards evolve away from an acre-for-acre approach to a focus on replacing wetland functions, your understanding of the wetland’s “wet part” has never been more critical.
This online class serves as an introduction to the fundamentals of functional design and provides both the means to rapidly assess the distribution of hydrology on your site and create usable hydrographs for presentation of your wetland design.
Building on the student’s understanding of wetland functions, this course will also guide you through the many factors required to plan and design a functional wetland. Through online lessons, you will learn “real world” applications with an emphasis on two key components that drive success: DDT (depth, duration, and timing) of site hydrology and the landscape position.
