Breaking News:  Wetland Scientist Certification

 After many months of private discussion, MassDEP has begun to publically talk about  wetland scientist certification. We do not know the details yet--no one does--but if this occurs, it will likely be in the near future. AMWS anticipates that professional certification will require, in addition to academic standards and experience, continuing education and membership in a professional organization like AMWS.

Membership in AMWS has never been more critical. Not only will members get breaking news about this issue first, they will also receive our newsletter, reduced rate professional workshops, networking, and opportunities to offer technical input to state and federal agencies. AMWS expects to be a direct participant  with MassDEP when certification details are hammered out.

All AMWS memberships expire Dec. 31st.  To receive the Jan. AMWS newsletter and future emails, you need to renew now, if you haven’t already done so.
