- Abstract:
- Proposal to develop a monitoring program, involving research scientists and volunteers, to examine the biological communities of Headwater Habitat Streams in central MA. Research will contribute to the goals of the MA Environmental Trust by (1) educating students, volunteers, and the public through hands-on research, press releases and programs about headwater streams and their biota; (2) developing a constituency for the protection of these poorly appreciated water resources; (3) contributing to improved management of headwater stream resources, and (4) serving as the basis for future research on the functional importance and biodiversity value of Headwater Habitat Streams.
