Do you have a special
place in your heart for the wildness and beauty of the Montague
Plains? Have you been dismayed by the abuse and misuse of this rare
and endangered ecosystem? Here is a chance for you to make a
difference.<BR>
Walker Korby, a graduate student in Geography at
the University of Massachusetts is looking for a team of volunteers
who would be willing to collect data on a regular basis (at least
bimonthly) on specific regions of the Plains. This data will be
compiled geographically to determine the patterns of use and misuse
of the Plains with the goal of informing policy makers, as well as
guiding future cleanup projects.<BR>
Volunteers will be
collecting data mainly on trail usage and conditions as well as
illegal dumping, through the use of handheld GPS units and data
collection software on handheld computers (PDAs). There will be an
information session on <B>Wednesday, October 27, 2004 at 7:00 pm</B>
at the Great Falls Discovery Center, 2 Avenue A, in Turners Falls.
At this session, Walker will provide more information about the
project and the data collection system as well as recruit interested
individuals. Please contact Walker with any questions at (413)
834-4269 or <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><U>walker at earthway.net<BR>
