Rick Van de Poll and Joe Homer will lead a wetland delineation refresher day on May 13th in the Connecticut River Valley, at the Zebedee Wetland, situated off Houghton Hill Road in Thetford, a 27-acre property with mulitple wetland types and is renowned by bird-watchers and wildlife enthusiasts. This event will be a brush-up on delineation for people who have already taken a delineation course or a fast-paced intro for folks who haven’t yet but have some skills with soils and plants. Field-skills are the focus. This is also a good opportunity to make connections for the delineation mentorship program.
From Route 113 in Thetford (Exit 14 off I-91) turn north on Houghton Hill Road. Parking for Zebedee Wetland is on the road shoulder after about .35 miles. A green metal gate marks the entry to the property and the trailhead kiosk is beyond the gate.
LIMITED to 12 attendees.

This will be an amphibian-focused field trip with Scott Smyers. Attendance will be limited so please register early. The field trip will be focused on Haystack and Crystal ponds in Wilmington and will involve a short hike. Since the site is a bit high in elevation, amphibians are delayed until mid-May normally.
