This project was conceived as part of a graduate research fellowship awarded to Chris Whitney, a PhD student at the University of New Hampshire. This research project aims to understand the role that beaver ponds and other freshwater (fluvial) wetlands have on surface water quality. For more info on helping map beaver activity in the Parker and Ipswich watersheds go to PIEBeaverPonds CrowdMap. Also check out the Parker and Ipswich River Watershed Beaver Activity web site for additional background information and maps.
