The initial goal for the group will be a collaborative project describing the ecological, historical, and social significance of the Tan Brook, which will result in an informative website and educational signage located at several locations in the town of Amherst and on University property where the Tan Brook enters campus. Ultimately, the group will contribute to multidisciplinary projects on applied and basic research about the sustainability of freshwater resources using the Tan Brook as the focus.
