Wetlands: What They Are and What We Can Do to Preserve Them

Jacob will help us understand what wetlands are and what we can do to help conserve them. Starting with an understanding of the laws governing wetlands and why they are regulated, we will learn what makes land a “wetland” – the hydrologic evidence of a wetland, what makes wetlands unique, and their benefit to and impact on our environment including flood water retention/ground water exchange.

Jacob Calvit, an environmental scientist consultant, is a Certified Professional Soil Scientist of the Soil Science Society of America, a Certified Forester of the American Association of Foresters, and a free-lance Environmental Scientist specializing in Wetland Permitting and Wetland Delineation. Jake earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Soil Science from Texas Tech University and a Master’s Degree in Forestry from Stephen F. Austin State University.
