Announcing the second of four workshops on Voluntary Wetland Restoration 
Opportunities in Virginia, to be held on Wednesday,March 3rd, 2004 at the Northern 
Virginia Regional Office of the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in 
Woodbridge, Virginia. 
Leaders of natural resource associations and organizations including 
watershed, civic, land trust, state, federal, and local governments have been invited 
to participate in the workshop. If you are a member of one of these 
organizations and are not aware whether or not a representative has been invited,please 
contact the Alliance. We strongly encourage private landowners who are 
interested in a wetland creation, restoration,or enhancement project on their land to 
attend this workshop for some great information to facilitate projects and 
funding. The Northern Virginia workshop is one of three scheduled to occur 
across Virginia; two similar workshops are additionally planned for the Roanoke and 
Tidewater areas. Although the workshop is free for all participants, 
registration is required no later than February 25th, 2004.
The main purpose of the workshop is to encourage voluntary wetland 
restoration and enhancement on private and public lands through the education of 
Virginia citizens on available technical and financial opportunities. This workshop 
is part of our on-going efforts to establish a Virginia Citizen Wetland 
Education, Outreach, and Monitoring Initiative, funded through a grant from the EPA 
to the DEQ and the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay (Alliance). This initiative 
will provide public education and outreach concerning wetland restoration in 
Virginia and wetland assessment monitoring of created, enhanced, and restored 
wetland areas.
