In this course you will gain a basic understanding of how to properly recognize wetlands in Pennsylvania and at the conclusion you will be able to identify and evaluate the three components that make up a wetland; hydrology, hydrophytic vegetation and hydric soil. This course was designed specifically to meet DEP’s regulatory programs related to wetland identification and the 1987 Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the associated Regional Supplements. This is not a substitute for field experience, and is meant to be foundational educational information. These courses do not cover all wetland topics, terms, or other information but are meant to provide relevant training for DEP and the public.
