Hydric Soil Indicators and Problem Soils

“Coursework correlated well with field studies, level of difficulty appropriately described. Information will be very useful, indication lists/explanations helpful for troubleshooting. Allowing group discussions was the key to the success of this course.”

Christina – San Rafael, CA

The course offers in-depth information on hydric soils beyond the Basic Wetland Delineation course. Focus on understanding the wetland-upland interface in soils, plus application of the new hydric soil indicators used by the regional supplements (NRCS Field Indicators of Hydric Soils). In addition, this course covers the problematic soil situations presented in the regional supplements, too. Completion of Basic Wetland Delineation course strongly recommended but not required. Oriented towards wetland delineation for consultants and regulators, this course is also applicable to wetland restoration and mitigation. This course consists of one-third lecture and two-third field exercises. Lecture Notes and Pocket Guide to Field Indicators will be provided.
