November Wetland Delineation and Corps Permitting Class complete. We got to see some wetlands in serious drought and ironically we got rained out of the fieldwork the last day. And yes, we discussed and contemplated the current status of Waters of the US...

Great students. Good times. Bus times.

A few photos from our April delineation class. Another great class of students now equipped with tools to do top notch delineations. The weather was outstanding and we have a new addition to the Whitenton Group fleet, an old school bus. Seemed to be a hit with the class and was definitely more room than the usual 15 passenger van. We’re now looking for a name for the bus. Feel free to post suggestions. We’ll get it painted/wrapped. Keep an eye out for its transformation.

Another great class in the books! These classes always challenge the students, especially those without formal education in vegetation, hydrology, and soils. But they always put all the pieces of the puzzle together by the end of the week. The classes always challenge us as the instructors as well. We’re always learning something new from the students. Great class and field time. Weather was good (even for Houston). Very few snakes and mosquitoes at our field sites. Maybe we weren’t in a real wetland? Or maybe the critters were taking some time off before it gets hot outside…😊 Hope you can join us in the Fall for the next class.

Photos from our flight to Gallup, NM yesterday for a quick project. Buttes, mountains, rivers, salt flats, weird craters, big solar farms. It was a cool flight after we left San Marcos. It was WINDY yesterday!
