Join us on Friday, May 8, from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM (EDT) for a morning field trip hosted by environmental scientists Sarah Johnson and Danielle Vail of Kimley-Horn at the Hilochee Wildlife Management Area.
During this guided walk along the Osprey Trail, attendees will learn the fundamentals of how environmental assessments are conducted in the field. The session will cover key topics such as identifying protected species, distinguishing wetlands from uplands, and understanding permitting challenges and their implications for development. Participants will also receive a desktop review handout of the trail area and hear about unique projects currently underway in the region.
Attendees will gain insight into:
• Protected species and their significance in environmental assessments
• How to identify wetlands versus uplands in the field
• Permitting hurdles and development implications
• Real-world examples of ongoing environmental projects
Following the guided walk, Sarah and Danielle will be available to answer questions and continue the conversation over lunch.
⚠️ Please bring water, sunscreen, closed-toe shoes, and snacks. Attendees who plan to stay after the walk are encouraged to bring a bagged lunch.
