2-day Wetlands Monitoring Group Volunteer Monitoring Workshop

Meredith Williams organized a 2-day Wetlands Monitoring Group Volunteer Monitoring Workshop, held February 6-7, 2010 at the UC Richmond Field Station. Featured in the workshop was the California Rapid Assessment Method for wetlands (CRAM). Letitia Grenier and Sarah Pearce presented an introduction of the method and a detailed description of the estuarine module. The highlight of the weekend was the afternoon spent in Western Stege Marsh, conducting an example estuarine CRAM assessment. This workshop exposed the Level 1-2-3 framework and the CRAM methodology to a wide cross section of local volunteer coordinators, agency staff, and environmental organization staff
