Fantastic introduction to wetland vegetation and ecology. If I can do the course and identify plants afterwards, anyone can! Greg Fletcher, Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority.
I found it useful to improve my general wetland understanding from which I can ask all the important questions of my consultants to check their reasoning in plans etc.
Strengths of the course were the inspirational style, group sharing/learning and field trips.
Excellent course thanks so much!
