The Website is up and still growing
The Friends of Mary’s Peak has  a new website thanks to contributions from members and friends.   It is about a quarter finished.  When done, the website will catalog and document an incredible ecosystem.  For too long the facts about the peak have been lost to archives long hidden or forgotten.  The website will catalog the biologic, geologic, historical and cultural diversity of the peak.  It’s a huge job...but we believe that it is an important part of planning for the long- term safety of the biosystem.  The project will include the work of many partners.  We have already attracted the work of people who have expertise in geology, history and cultural anthropology.  The History part of the site is almost done and includes information from three local historians... Kenneth Munford, Frank Hall and Maria Serrot.  Check it out! 
Up coming ...Bob Lillie, professor of Geology at OSU has agreed to write and illustrate the Geology part of the web site.  Bob will be leading a geology field trip to Mary’s Peak on July 25th.  Should be very interesting and fun. 

WE NEED YOUR HELP!  

  • We are looking for biologists, botantist and other interested people to help us categorize and write about the plants, animals, 
 and other special species on the mountain. 
  • We have devised a plan to have each partner create only a few pages so we don’t wear them out. 
  •  We are looking for someone to write about and organize an astronomy section of the website. 
  • We are looking for someone to help us organize the watershed section of the website, including maps.  We already have a lot of information gathered and mostly need someone to type in up in MS Word. 
  • We are looking for on-going monetary contributions.  A sponsor will receive advertising on our site. 
  • The website is located at the following web address:  http://www.maryspeak.org 
E-mail for the site and organization is maryspk@peak.org
