    A Tribute to John Montague Gillett, 1918–2014 ERICH HABER 60 Baywood Drive, Stittsville, Ontario K2S 2H5 Canada Haber, Erich. 2015. A tribute to John Montague Gillett, 1918–2014. Canadian Field-Naturalist 129(1): 90 –96. John Montague Gillett (Figure 1), or “Jack,” as he was called by everyone, was born in Ottawa on 26 November 1918, the only child of Elizabeth and John C. Gillett, both of whom came from large families in England. Elizabeth left England as a lady’s handmaiden on a passenger liner bound for the United States. She subsequently moved to Ottawa, and John joined her there. John was a machinist and Elizabeth worked as a chef in her early career. Jack grew up in the Westboro area of Ottawa, where he explored with like-minded friends such as Lloyd Francis, former member of the Canadian Parliament and Speaker of the House. Jack and friends spent their holi - days at Constance Bay and occasionally would cross the Ottawa River in a rowboat equipped with a sail. They would climb the escarpment (“the mountain”) in an area that would become part of Gatineau Park, Que - bec. For thrills, they would also dive into the turbulent waters at Hog’s Back Falls, Ottawa. Jack completed his secondary school studies at Glebe Collegiate Institute in 1937. At Glebe, he also learned shorthand and typing. This bode well for Jack because, while working part time after school cleaning up in the chemistry lab, he was asked by a staff member to type FIGURE 1. John M. Gillett, 1974.

  • Appendix N Biological Database Queries and List of Species Observed
    APPENDIX N BIOLOGICAL DATABASE QUERIES AND LIST OF SPECIES OBSERVED NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE REPORT United States A product of the National Custom Soil Resource Department of Cooperative Soil Survey, Agriculture a joint effort of the United Report for States Department of Agriculture and other Shasta-Trinity National Federal agencies, State Natural agencies including the Forest Area, Parts of Resources Agricultural Experiment Conservation Stations, and local Humboldt, Siskiyou, Shasta, Service participants Tehama, and Trinity Counties, California; and Siskiyou County, California, Central Part September 6, 2016 Preface Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases.
