Good Morning Champlain College Environmental Studies and Policy Department,
We want to spread the word about the Natural Shoreland Erosion Control Certification training sessions that the Vermont DEC is offering this November. We feel that these full day training events may be of interest to students at Champlain College who are interested in shoreland Best Management Practices, including techniques for erosion control, stormwater management, bioengineering and wildlife habitat protection. Additionally, the course is worth four non-soil credits for Licensed Designers. Please distribute information about these trainings to anyone who you believe would be interested in or could benefit from them.
Please feel free to ask Amy and I questions about these training events. Also, please visit the NSECC web page where you can find more information such as links to videos, PowerPoint presentations and the Public List of NSECC Trained Professionals. The web address is http://dec.vermont.gov/watershed/lakes-ponds/lakeshores-lake-wise/nsecc
I attached a flyer, photo of a recent shoreland stabilization project and a registration form to this email and I pasted the email announcement we have been using below.
Hello Friends of Vermont Lakes,
Once again, we will be offering the Natural Shoreland Erosion Control Certification Workshops during the first week of November and this year at three different locations throughout the state. We hope you or your colleagues can join us and that you will help us spread the word about these trainings. Attached is a flyer with more information as well as a photo of a recent shoreland stabilization project using encapsulated soil lifts, one of the bioengineering methods we cover at the workshops.
Here’s a link to the 2018 Legislative Report on this voluntary shoreland training, which gives more background information about the NSECC course and certification.
