VAWS Wetland Delineation Mentor Program Seeking Mentors and Mentees
VAWS Wetland Delineation Mentor Program Seeking Mentors and Mentees
After a successful pilot program in 2024, VAWS is continuing to develop and expand the Mentor Program. This program is designed to connect mentees who are recent graduates, early career professionals, or new to the wetland field with more experienced wetland delineators.
A virtual informational session will be held in May and VAWS will hold an initial field training session in early June. Email Mary Beth and Donovan at admin@vermontwetlandscience.org if you would like to learn more.
Requirements for mentees:
VAWS membership
Completion of 40-hour Wetland Delineation course on Army Corps methods or ability to demonstrate equivalent education (you are welcome to join if you are signed up for the June 2025 course)
Transportation and flexibility to join mentor at delineation sites in their region of the State for 3 days within the growing season plus an initial training day
Mentors ideally will have at least 2 years of delineation experience, and will commit to at least 3 days of field delineation shadowing throughout the growing season (approximately once per month). The initial field training session is optional for mentors.
