The EPA Watershed Academy will hold a live webcast on May 17 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. on Integrating Wetlands into Watershed Protection Plans.

Tom Schuler from the Center for Watershed Protection will focus on how wetlands located in rural, suburban and urban settings can be directly and indirectly impacted by land development.

Schuler will describe eight tools of watershed protection that can be adapted to strengthen wetland protection, conservation and restoration.

Previous webcasts on Opportunities for Citizen Involvement in the Clean Water Act, Sustainable Financing for Watershed Groups, Using EPA’s Draft Handbook for Developing Watershed Plans and more are also available online.
