Description

This is a special offering of the AIS Detectors Core Course for Rice Creek Watershed District. Registration is available at no cost to you this year thanks to a sponsorship from Rice Creek Watershed District.

The AIS Detectors Core Course is an introduction to aquatic invasive species (AIS) science, identification, and surveillance. You will learn how to identify and report invasive species, best practices for preventing the spread of AIS, relevant rules and regulations, and how to search for AIS on your own.

This course consists of two portions: a self-paced online course and a live workshop with the instructors. The self-paced online course takes approximately 8 hours to complete, followed by a one day in-person workshop in New Brighton, Minnesota from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The self-paced online content must be completed prior to the start of the live workshops. You must complete both the online content and workshop session in order to receive credit for the course and become a Certified AIS Detector.

Do not be alarmed by the registration fee! You will add your coupon code later in the registration process to remove the fees.

You will need a tablet, laptop or desktop computer, or smart phone with a good internet connection to access all course materials. The experience will be best on a larger screen, so a laptop or desktop computer are strongly recommended. Lunch will be provided at your in-person workshop.
