     The objective of this workshop is to enable the users of the National
     Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps to understand and work with the NWI
     habitat classification types and map constitutions.  The NWI Wetland
     classification system will be stressed, however, the upland
     classification types used in some United States Fish and Wildlife
     Service and National Biological Service mapping activities will be
     included.  A half-day field trip will be included to present NWI
     wetland and upland habitat classification types on the maps as seen in
     the field.
 
     There is still room for anyone interested in participating in this
     workshop.  The price is $100.00 and will be first come first serve.
