USC Stream Team Lays Out Full Menu Of Training Options

By: Mike Lovegreen
USC Stream Team Leader

In response to requests for training opportunities for stream corridor-related elements, the USC Stream Team has compiled a number of selections for both new technicians as well as those looking for further training in advanced design. Training selections will be based on on the interest and expertise of those indicating a wish to participate, and will be identified from the following list:

Training Possibilities:
Name: Introduction to Fluvial Geomorphology
2.5 day field and class training. Target date September

Name: Fish Habitat Enhancement
1 day field and class training. Target date July

Name: An Overview and tour of PA Dirt and Gravel Roads Program and field practices
1 day field and class training. Target date August

Name: Developing a Sound Stream Corridor Design Package
2 day field and class training. Target date September/October

Name: 2 Day Stream Corridor Assessment Guide Training
2 day field and class training. Target date July.

Name: Stream Project Quality Assurance and CBP Spot Checks
1 day field and class training. Target date October.

Topics, schedules, location and content are designed to be fluid to meet the needs of registrants, so it is important that anyone interested in participating contact Mike Lovegreen, Stream Team Leader, as soon as possible. The determination if and when trainings will be held is contingent upon a minimum number of participants and hearing from those participants at least 3 weeks before target dates. Cost to USC members for training (less travel and any overnight) is covered and there may be opportunities for other SWCD staff to attend, based on numbers.
