Researchers, policy experts and environmental management professionals will discuss changes in legal protections for Indiana’s wetlands and how those changes could alter ecosystem services.

Purdue University’s Center for the Environment, the White River Alliance and the Hoosier Environmental Council will host the Indiana Wetlands Forum online Tuesday, Oct. 5 from 3-5 p.m.

Experts from Purdue University, Indiana University, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Plews Shadley Racher & Braun LLP will speak about how changes in state and federal jurisdiction over the state’s wetlands will impact Hoosiers and the environment.

The event is free, but registration is required for access to the forum.
