Vermont Business Magazine The Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission (TRORC) has been awarded a grant from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) Clean Water Initiative Program to organize a three-day wetland restoration training workshop. The aim of this workshop is to fulfill the current training needs of natural resource professionals across the state of Vermont in relation to ecologically effective and economically efficient wetland restoration design.
This training will be led by skilled wetland restoration professionals and will cover a variety of topics including restoration goals, evaluation techniques, funding opportunities, monitoring, and much more. It will feature a mix of both indoor instruction and outdoor site visits, including visits to a potential restoration site along the Black River in Plymouth, VT.
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be well-versed in various wetland restoration techniques and will have the necessary knowledge to complete a successful wetland restoration project. TRORC and DEC intend to disseminate details of the training to professionals and groups statewide. It is anticipated that this workshop will be held in the spring and summer of 2020.
Details on the dates and locations of the workshop will be announced in the coming months.
TRORC provides professional planning, mapping, facilitation, grant writing, and project management services for its thirty member towns in east-central Vermont.
