GSS Provides Wetland Training in New Mexico
In mid-June, GSS Executive Director Andy Robertson travelled to New Mexico to provide wetland classification training for three recently-hired New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) staff members. The group met in Santa Fe and visited 45 wetlands throughout the nearby Sangre de Cristo Mountains over the 4-day training. Staff learned about the different types of wetlands in New Mexico, the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) classification system, and using wetland classifications to assess wetland functions.
