This course is designed to introduce students to the basics of wetland identification and classification. Students will be introduced to the foundations of how to recognize, map, classify, and describe wetlands using the Canadian Wetland Classification System and will provide an overview for identifying common wetland ecosystem sites and plant associations using the Wetlands of British Columbia and other updated Land Management Handbooks (LMH).  Other topics such as wetland delineation and assessment (function and condition) will be introduced but are not the focus of this course.
