Wetlands trainings available

The Tennessee Izaak Walton League would like to invite you to attend the Dumplin Creek Wetland Restoration and Repair Workshop in Sevierville, Tennessee from October 12-14, 2009. The training provides an excellent opportunity to become involved in the actual restoration of two or more wetlands in a Conservation Easement along Dumplin Creek. You'll learn how two different techniques can be used to establish wetlands:
1) Construction of groundwater dams from soils high in clay to restore surface water.
2) Placement of aquatic-safe liners buried on sites having a low water table and coarse texture soils.

The announcement, agenda, and registration form are attached. This workshop is free so please register early as it will probably fill fast.

Registration is now open for the Sweet Briar College Isolated Wetlands Conference and Vernal Pond Building Workshop in Amherst, Virginia from September 11-13, 2009. More information can be found at www.wetlandsandstreamrestoration.org
