Dave Evans, the Director of the Wetlands Division of the EPA Office of Wetlands, Oceans, and Watersheds will also be making a special announcement, so be sure to tune in and learn the latest news! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About the Webcast: Got wetlands? Wetlands play an important, but often unacknowledged, role in a community's infrastructure by providing opportunities for recreation and tourism, storing floodwaters, and cleaning polluted water, among other benefits. This webcast will provide an overview of the Wetlands-At-Risk Protection Tool (WARPT), a process for local governments that quantifies the extent of at-risk wetlands, documents the benefits they provide at various scales, and uses the results to develop a wetland protection plan. Case studies will cover local applications of various steps of the WARPT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CWP'S WATERSHED & STORMWATER MANAGEMENT WEBCAST SERIES: The Wetlands-At-Risk Protection Tool Wednesday, May 4, 2011 Eastern: 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm Central: 11:00 am - 1:00 pm Mountain: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm Pacific: 9:00 am - 11:00 am Cost: Free!
