This page, and associated links, is dedicated to
the detailed examination of a small part of the upper Pine River watershed
located in Melancthon Township, Dufferin County, Ontario, Canada.
The work is being undertaken by Don Hayward as a learning experience in
ecology.
Gaining an understanding of the principles, concepts and analytical
tools of several disciplines in environmental science is an essential goal
of the effort. Hopefully there will be a resulting detailed understanding
of this specific segment of the watershed in terms of its physical and
biological parameters and processes. There is no time limit to this
project.
As others help out or become more involved, they will be listed in
the area of the "SiteA Team". All participants and land owners
within the area will receive a copy of an annual summary of each years
work. Those interested in helping or receiving an e-mail copy of
the reports can contact Don at dhayward@hurontario.net.
