Mt. Shasta headwaters research urged
Mt. Shasta News – 12/5/07
By Paul Boerger, staff writer
Ecologist and researcher René Henery of UC Davis presented an overview of the Mt. Shasta region watershed last week, emphasizing the need for research on the headwaters area.
Henery's “mantra,” which he frequently repeated during the Nov. 28 talk at the Flying Lotus in Mount Shasta, was that to fully comprehend the headwaters complex relationship to the area and the use of the water elsewhere - such as the flows that go to more southern parts of California - researchers need to look at the broad interrelationships of the rivers, 14,162 foot Mt. Shasta and its glaciers, and habitats.
“This is a very special place with a wealth of natural resources,” Henery said. “These are natural resources essential to the State of California. Natural resources nobody knows much about. This is a system that is poorly understood.”
