IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - PROGRESS
It is with great excitement that I am pleased to announce we will be starting to eco harvest the invasive weeds next week. We are set to begin Monday August 8th 2022 and finish Friday August 12th 2022. We will be attacking the weeds at two sites in Long Pond. Our first site is in Freetown near and around the Freetown beach, and along the cove areas. At this site we will be utilizing the beach for our staging area. Safety is very important to us and for this reason we have requested that the town close access to the beach for the couple of days we will be there. I apologize for any inconvenience this makes for anyone trying to use the beach on these days. It will reopen when we are complete there. Our second site is in Lakeville at Churchill Shores and along their cove areas. At this site we will utilize the estates private boat ramp for our staging area. We have received permission to use their ramp from the estates association. We ask that you do not use this area while we are working for safety. We are planning to split our time at both sites starting in Freetown first then moving to Lakeville. I will be posting updates and information as we work. If you are on the water these days we ask that you please stay away from the work areas and the eco harvester. I am making a list of volunteers if any assistance is needed. If you are interested in volunteering please let me know by email. I will post my email address below. Once we have completed the removal of the weeds and they have gone through our process of dewatering and inspection. We will be offering it up as compost to all. The remains will then be transferred to the Freetown transfer station and stock piled there with the compost. The weeds are excellent fertilizer and high in nitrogen. They are great for gardens and compost piles. Again I am so very excited that all the hard work is coming together. Huge thanks to all involved. This is our first year and it was only made possible by working together as a community. I am very grateful and hopeful for the future of Long Pond and the APC. We will be actively planning for next year. Stay tuned for more updates.
Sincerely,
