Introduction to Wetland Identification
8:30am - 4:30pm
$285
Virtually all activities conducted in and around wetlands are regulated – from excavating underground storage tanks to soil compaction for paving a driveway or patio to pruning of overgrown vegetation – and violators are subject to hefty penalties and fines from the NJ-DEP. Knowing if a wetland is on your property or a site on which you work is incredibly important! But how do you determine if a wetland is present? Why not educate yourself? Take our class to get the basic tools you need to identify a wetland’s presence. Once you make a determination, you will know if you need to go further and hire an environmental professional to evaluate the site and assist you with the permit process. In this one-day combination classroom and field course, a nationally recognized wetlands expert will review the skills you need to identify freshwater wetlands and their boundaries and introduce you to wetland plant identification and soil recognition. You will learn: Why wetlands are important, How they differ, What indicators are used for wetland identification and about the current regulations in New Jersey.

Planning
for a Sustainable Water Supply in Lakewood and Beyond
2 p.m.
The Little Theater, Georgian Court College
Lakewood, NJ
The Little Theater, Georgian Court College
Lakewood, NJ
Water supply and water conservation issues are of vital importance
in New Jersey right now. As population increases and townships plan for
increasingly dense developments, the problems of providing a safe, clean water
supply for citizens-while retaining adequate water supplies in rivers, streams,
and aquifers for healthy ecosystems-become more acute. River and stream levels
are already falling precipitously low in dry summers, and the water supply and
its safety for humans and wildlife alike are an increasing concern within the
Barnegat Bay Watershed.
Join us for this informative and engaging panel that will showcase the need for
a water supply plan in this region and be a catalyst for developing the
necessary process to create that plan.
Moderator: Lisa Auermuller, Watershed Coordinator at Jacques Cousteau Reserve, Rutgers University
Panelists: Senator Robert W. Singer (R-Ocean); Justin Flancbaum, Executive Director, Lakewood Municipal Utilities Authority; Robert Nicolson, Supervisory Hydrologist, U.S. Geological Survey; Peg Sturmfels, Program Organizer, New Jersey Environmental Federation; Richard Bizub, Director of Water Programs, Pinelands Preservation Alliance. Admission to this event is free. Guest registration is requested to ensure that there is sufficient seating for all guests. To register, and to learn more about the week-long program on building sustainable communities, please contact Trish Passuth, director of service learning, at 732.987.2713 or passutht@georgian.edu.
