Provided field surveys, analyses, and plan development for fourteen Wetland Reserve Easement sites throughout Georgia.

In coordination with the NRCS, surveys and analyses were conducted at fourteen Wetland Reserve Easement (WRE) sites throughout Georgia to develop Wetland Reserve Plan of Operation (WRPO) documents. Field studies included topographic/geomorphic, soils, and vegetative surveys to characterize and evaluate impairments and their extents.
