Erosion Control Field Day 2024

  • NH Audubon Massabesic Center 26 Audubon Way Auburn, NH, 03032 United States (map)

NH Department of Environmental Services Subsurface Bureau: 6.0 CEU Approved

“A little bit of dirt never hurt anybody,” but a little bit from a jobsite multiplied by the hundreds of jobsites in a water-shed can add up quickly. Soil erosion has the potential to harm our drinking water resources, fish and wildlife re-sources, and even effect how much treatment wastewater must receive.

Erosion Control has changed dramatically over the years and new technologies are constantly in development. Use this workshop to help you stay current on useful practices. This full day training will incorporate both classroom sessions and outdoor, hands on demonstrations in small group settings.

Registration Cost: $75.00*

*Coffee and pastries will be provided morning of, as well as a lunch. Please let us know of any dietary restrictions.
