Wetlands workshop

Two free wetlands ecology teacher workshops are scheduled in the Methow Valley July 19-21.

Participants will spend a day and a half mapping and discovering the botany, biology, geology and ecology of a bog and a swamp in the Okanogan National Forest with instructors John Adams and George Wooten.

Adams is a University of Washington geology professor and Wooten is a botanist.

Teachers for grades K-12 can receive 12 clock hours, Wooten said.

To register, call Wooten at (509) 996-3835 or by e-mail at gwooten@methow.com or sign up online at www.methow.com/gwooten/thccal.htm.
