Cedarburg Science is proud to announce that our Senior Restoration Ecologist, Heather Patti, PWS is a part of the Wetland Delineation Professional Assurance Initiative of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. This means her work is assured for purposes of State of Wisconsin wetland delineations. As an Assured Wetland Delineator, wetland boundary review and concurrence from WDNR is not needed when Heather performs a delineation of a wetland boundary. This greatly speeds up project approval processes.

As described by the Wisconsin DNR: “The goal of this program is to provide a high level of certainty about wetland boundaries for project planning, and save time in state review of wetland boundaries, while enhancing protection for Wisconsin's wetlands through more accurate wetland boundaries overall.” To learn more about the Wetland Delineation Professional Assurance Initiative, go to this link.

What are we up to lately at Cedarburg Science? Coordinating restoration activities at Forest Beach Migratory Preserve, finishing the late fall wetland delineations (done by our own Heather Patti, who is a Wisconsin assured wetland delineator, and is pictured here), completing the last wind farm bird and bat mortality surveys for this fall, and completing a year-end report of our wildlife collection activity, in addition to strategic planning for 2010. A new event scheduled for early in the coming year will be a Cedarburg Science “Winter School” weekend, complete with winter ecology, winter plant identification and winter bird workshops, building and using your own snowshoes from inexpensive materials, and creating "outdoor art" in the natural world – at the Central Wisconsin Environmental Station near Amherst Junction, Wisconsin. To learn more about our services, any of these events, or our other work , see our website , or call us (262-376-0735) or e-mail us at cedsci@cedarburgscience.com.
