If you’re looking for a meaningful way to volunteer in town this summer, you can roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty—er, wet—by helping out at the Bare Hill Pond weed pulls, scheduled for June 19, July 17, and Aug. 7. Besides ridding the pond of weeds, volunteer efforts are worth credits that can help support the funding of ongoing pond management efforts.

If volunteers multiplied like water chestnut weeds, we could get Bare Hill Pond off the state’s endangered ponds list in no time!
