Get our field tested guide to know the indicator status for every plant in the National Wetland Plant List

(Midwest and Northcentral/Northeast Regions)

This package includes all species included in the National Wetland Plant list for both regions – over 3,100 species
One list organized by scientific name and one list organized by common name.
This also includes over 2,000 commonly used synonyms – both common and scientific names

We’ve all been there…

In the middle of a delineation, filling out data sheets.

Everything is going fine.

That is, until you can’t find any information on the plant that’s right in front of you.

You know the species, and are pretty sure it’s a wetland plant, but you need to confirm the indicator status to be certain. The problem is, you can’t find it in the National Wetland Plant List.

What do you do?

Instead of knowing the indicator status for sure you could do…this

You could just assume it’s upland, and move on.

But what if you’re wrong?

You could collect it, and take it back to the office to double check. But then you might have to go back to the site.

Even the most experienced delineators need to use reference materials. It’s simply impossible to know the indicator status of all the species in the National Wetland Plant List. Not to mention all the plants with synonyms.

Having the right information can be the difference between getting it right or wrong.

Our delineators know this first hand.

How we use the handbook on our delineations

We documented Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) on a project last year.

Because this species doesn’t appear in the National Wetland Plant List for either the Midwest or the NC/NE region, you might think it’s an upland plant.

You’d be wrong.

That’s because the U.S. Army Corps uses the scientific name Chamaenerion angustifolium for this species, which happens to be a wetland plant (FAC in the Midwest and NC/NE).

Because we list synonyms for plants like this, it’s in our handbook and our delineator was able to correctly document the indicator status.

Our handbook includes over 2,000 other commonly used synonyms for plants to help you make the right call in the field.

Fireweed

Scientific Name – Epilobium angustifolium

Not listed in the NWP

Fireweed

Accepted Synonym – Chamaenerion angustifolium

Listed in the NWP as (as FAC) in the Midwest and NC/NE

Our delineators have years of experience delineating hundreds of wetlands working in the Midwest and NC/NE regions and we use this handbook for each delineation we do.

And we’re making it available to you..

Introducing…

The National Wetland Plant List Quick Reference Handbook for the Midwest and Northcentral/Northeast Regions

Whether you’re looking for scientific names or common names, we have you covered.

You’ll get two versions of our handbook. Both in searchable PDF format.

Use the one the works best for you.

Scientific Names – This list is organized by scientific name for the Midwest and the NC/NE Regions.
Common Names – This list is organized by common name for the Midwest and the NC/NE Regions.

Each list contains:

All Listed Species – includes all species in the National Wetland Plant listfor both regions – over 3,100 species.
Commonly Used Synonyms – over 2,000 commonly used synonyms – both common and scientific names.
leafHydric Soils Cheat Sheet – We’ll include a free copy of our Hydric Soils Cheat Sheet to help support your wetland delineation with good soils data.

Can I use it on my phone/iPad/tablet/etc?

You’ll get the handbook in a searchable PDF format to load onto your device.

Can I print it out? I prefer something I can hold in my hand

If you prefer hard copies you can print it on weatherproof paper (i.e. Rite in the Rain) or use standard paper and laminate the sheets.

You can use whatever binding meets your needs. We use a spiral binding for our handbooks.

What does the list actually look like?

What happens when the U.S. Army Corps updates the list?

We realize the U.S. Army Corps occasionally updates the National Wetland Plant List. If they do, we’ll update our versions of the handbooks for our own use and send you the updates for FREE!

Let me tell you why.

Our delineators have years of experience working in the Midwest and NC/NE Regions. We’ve worked in some of the most challenging settings in the midwestern U.S. including:

Industrial areas – where everything has been mowed to less than 3 inches tall.
The Indiana Dunes region – one of the most ecologically diverse regions in the world.
Wet prairies – where an inch of elevation can be the difference bewteen uplands and wetlands.
Flatwoods – with a mosaic of entangled, winding wetlands, or pockets of upland islands.
Highly disturbed areas – complicated by manipulated and unnatural soils, slag, or gravel substrates, and salt-loving plants.

Even the most experienced delineators need to use reference materials. It’s simply impossible to know the indicator status of all species in the National Wetland Plant List. Not to mention all the plants with synonyms.

Having the right information can be the difference between getting in right or wrong.

That’s why we developed this handbook and why we use it for each delineation we do.

And we’re making it available to you.

We invite you to use the handbook on your next delineation. If it doesn’t make your job easier, just let us know and we’ll send you a prompt refund.
