Online Training
The MWPCP has developed the following training videos related to wetland identification and Wetland Conservation Act regulatory administration. Viewing of these videos is not eligible for MWPCP continuing education credits because they do not provide verification of who viewed them. However, they provide useful information, particularly for individuals that are relatively new to WCA and wetland science.
