How To Use A Laser Level
In the previous video, Kathlyn covered why site selection is so important when planning to build a wetland. Here, she builds on this idea by explaining how to use a level to determine ground slopes and wetland depths. She explains the basic functions of a laser level and their different components, then walks through a real life example of how a laser level is used in wetland construction. She also covers the basics of using a construction level, then gives a quick conceptual example of how lasers can be used to determine the depth of a wetland.

“My name is Kathlyn Franco Osagie and I believe the number one thing you can do to help wildlife is build wetlands. I have worked with small mammals, plants, reptiles and it is my work building wetlands for amphibians that I believe has made the biggest difference.
I started building wetlands in 2014. It led me to seek out a masters degree. I completed graduate school with a 4.0 GPA. I am a proud Latina women in science. My parents are both immigrants from Latin America and I am the first to graduate from High School and College. I hope to inspire women especially minority women to join the sciences.

“I just donated $100 and hopefully Kathlyn can build some of her wetlands. I appreciate all I have learned from the classes and from Kathlyn and hope to put the knowledge to use very soon.”
