Huron River Watershed Council
Lynn Kalfsbeek co-managed the Bioreserve Program.
This summer, Rapid Ecological Assessments were begun for the Bioreserve Program. In this program, 1700 parcels of land in the watershed had been identified as probable important lands for preservation. Lynn prepared a 110 page plant field guide for the indicator plants used in the Bioreserve Rapid Ecological Assessment protocol. Lynn also provided support and assistance, particularly in plant identification, to the volunteer teams that performed Rapid Ecological Assessment. She also helped maintain the database and planned scheduling and logistics. In addition to the Bioreserve responsibilities, Lynn performed watershed planning task of stream assessments and database entry, and prepared data for lake treatment permits and impaired water bodies.
