We have spend over 15 years in the field, boots in the muck across Minnesota and the Midwest. One thing I've learned — the more you understand about wetlands and the regulatory process before your project starts, the smoother things go. These resources are my way of sharing what we know so you can come to us informed and ready to move forward.

​

Welcome to the CK Wetland Services video channel. We are lead by Professional Wetland Scientist,  and MN Certified Wetland Delineator - Curt Kleist - and lifelong northwoods guy who grew up near Ely, Minnesota. 

​

After 15+ years and 300+ projects across the counry - from 1-acre cabin lots on the Iron Range to county wide wind farms in the Midwest - I started this channel to pull back the curtain on what wetland consulting actually looks like.

​

Here you'll find:

• Field walkthroughs and real delineation work

• Wetland science and hydric soils explained simply

• WCA and Section 404 permitting guides

• GNSS/GPS and GIS tech content

• Behind the scenes of a wetland consulting firm

• The boreal wetlands of northeastern Minnesota​

​

These videos are also the foundation of our Learning Resources library at ckwetlands.com, where landowners, developers, and project teams can get informed before reaching out.
