Update: This event has been reschedule to Sunday, June 25, 11 am – 1pm!
Join us for our on the land portion of Knowing Your Landscape on Tuesday, May 23 at 11 am -Sunday, June 25 at 11 am at Cole Field (Stetson Rd., Williamstown).
Wetlands are critical ecosystems for water quality, water storage and biodiversity and because of this, they come with a number of regulations about the use of land around them. Come learn on the land with Andre-Anne Chenaille, a wetlands specialist at Guntlow & Associates, Inc. We will explore local wetlands ecosystems while discussing the importance of wetlands to our local environment, when you would employ the services of a wetlands specialist and what happens during a visit, including a delineation demonstration.
