Description: Texas Coastal Watershed Program is offering a wetlands plants course that runs through August. Class meets August 1, 8, 15, 22, 29.

Learn about the work of the Wetland Restoration Team and receive basic plant
identification training which will aid in your participation with the Team. The
course runs 5 weeks in August, 9-12am every Wednesday, at Sheldon Lake State Park in
northeast Harris County. A different plant family–-wetland grasses, rushes, sedges,
and Sagittaria–-will be the focus of each week, plus an introduction to our wetland
restoration efforts of the past five years, current projects, and future projects.
For Texas Master Naturalists, the classes count toward advance training, even if the
course has been taken previously. Volunteer hours will also be received for
participation in Team workdays.
Due to the popularity of the course and the limitation of the classroom size, the
class is limited to 24 students. You must register with Marissa Sipocz
(m-sipocz@tamu.edu) by July 25, 2010 and receive a confirmation email to reserve a
spot in the course. The fee for this course is $20. For more information on the
course, including a carpool from our Clear Lake office, please see the online flyer
