Rick Van de Poll is the principal of Ecosystem Management Consultants, and has created biological inventories for over 350,000 acres of land, including Grey Rocks Conservation Area. In 2016 Van de Poll and NLRA created the Northern Newfound Water Trail Map and Guide, which points boaters to areas of interest and describes their ecological value and attributes. The Water Trail Map can be found online at NewfoundLake.org or at the kiosk at Grey Rocks Conservation Area.
