Since 1997, WHEP volunteers have been monitoring wetland health
throughout Dakota County. They provide important information to city and county planners, engineers, resource managers and
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to track wetland health and understand wetland impacts due to land use changes, stormwater
runoff and more.
This
is a valuable service and we rely on volunteers to collect data each field season. Volunteers are typically recruited
and asked to register between March and May each year. See the Get Involved page for how to register to volunteer.
