Our 2 sons live in Georgetown/Glen Williams. About 8-12 yrs. Ago a lawyer who owned land there got permission to build “The LAST small Subdivision on the Escarpment.” Our son bought one of those ½ to full acre lots but then never built on it no time or ability at that stage in his family and working life.... he was able to sell it later and at the time I had very mixed feelings about him even getting involved with this protected land . My congratulations, also. It is a privilege for me to know and ‘hang out with’ so many devoted educated and determined and hard working Environmentalists.

The annual, week-long course studies forest biodiversity change in the Escarpment’s protected areas. Under UW and NEC staff leadership, course participants assess an Escarpment study plot, collecting tree, shrub/sapling, ground cover and forest health data. Data are compiled and analyzed to evaluate trends and report on the state of Escarpment forests. The course has received worldwide attention as an academic-government collaborative success story. <br><br>“Greg has brought the Niagara Escarpment to life for hundreds of students over sixteen years,” said NEC’s Senior Strategic Advisor Lisa Grbinicek. “We are delighted to acknowledge his efforts to further our understanding of the Niagara Escarpment with this award.”<br><br>Designated a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in 1990, Ontario’s Niagara Escarpment is recognized for its spectacular landscapes and waterfalls, as well as its complex ecosystems and unique species. The Niagara Escarpment Commission’s Achievement Awards recognize individuals and groups for outstanding accomplishments, including exceptional building design/site landscaping, environmental restoration projects, and lifetime achievement for outstanding contributions to the conservation and stewardship values embodied in the Niagara Escarpment Plan and the Niagara Escarpment Biosphere Reserve.<br><br> <br> <br> Go to site below to see a fine picture of Greg and his wife Carol as he received the award today. <br> <br> <<a href="http://uwaterloo.ca/environment/news/uwaterloo-prof-awarded-niagara-escarpment-lifetime-achievement-award">http://uwaterloo.ca/environment/news/uwaterloo-prof-awarded-niagara-escarpment-lifetime-achievement-award</a>> <br><br><br>-- <br>John Jackson<br>17 Major Street<br>Kitchener, Ontario N2H 4R1<br>519-744-7503</span><o:p></o:p></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></div><p class=MsoNormal>_______________________________________________<br>All mailing list<br><a href="mailto:All@gren.ca">All@gren.ca</a><br><a href="http://gren.ca/mailman/listinfo/all_gren.ca">http://gren.ca/mailman/listinfo/all_gren.ca</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></body></html>
