Community Watershed Usage

DUHAMEL WATERSHED SOCIETY
Cultural Values and Usage Survey

Hello, we are from the Duhamel Watershed Society (DWS); a group of local residents who really care about what is happening to our water, our forests and our land.

We are conducting a formal research study to support and understand community usage in the watershed – part of a long-term, community ecosystem based management plan.

Do not fill out this survey if you have never visited the Duhamel Watershed.

To produce useful data we require names and other demographic information; which will NOT be made public and confidentiality is assured.
