3-day CRAM Vernal Pool Training - Roseville

This 3-Day session is specific to vernal pool assessments; in order to conduct vernal pool assessments, you must take this 3-Day session, and not a 5-Day general session. The session will focus on the skills necessary to consistently conduct accurate assessments of vernal pools using CRAM, and will provide guidance on the use of CRAM for ambient and project assessment and monitoring. The session involves both classroom and field instruction, with an emphasis on the field component.

This training will be held on April 9-11, 2025. Your lead training instructors will be Lindsay Teunis from SWCA and Sarah Pearce from the San Francisco Estuary Institute, both members of the statewide Level 2 committee of the California Wetlands Monitoring Workgroup. Sites in the Roseville and Lincoln area will be visited. Course agenda and details will be emailed to participants two weeks prior to the session.

Registration closes on March 26, 2025. A total of 24 registrations are available. If the class fills you will be placed on a waitlist.

If a registered participant must withdraw before March 26, we will transfer registration to a later class (2026) with no charge, or will refund in full minus $100 admin fee. No refund after March 26.

• We will be in the classroom during the morning of the first day.
• The remainder of the class will be held at various field sites.
• Classroom location TBD, but will be communicated on the agenda, delivered two weeks before the class begins.

• Participants will visit and perform assessments at 5 field sites
