What they do
Fosters Pond Weed Control Program: Control of Invasive Weeds and Toxic Blue-green Algae In 120-acre Fosters Pond, A Great Pond Owned By The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and Visited By An Estimated 5,000 People Annually. Following Our 2024 Treatment of 42 Acres to Control Suffocating Mats of Fanwort, A Persistent Invasive Weed Which Once Dominated Fosters Pond, 2025 Saw Virtually No Remaining Infestations. However, An Unusually Warm Season Which Led to The Closure of Numerous Lakes Throughout Massachusetts Required Us to Undertake Unprecedented Rounds of Sampling and Lab Testing to Detect Blue-green Algae and Conduct Timely Treatments, Keeping Fosters Pond Open to The Public Throughout The Summer. The FPC Continued Our Regimen of Comprehensive Vegetation Surveys to Monitor The Presence of Invasive Weeds and Ensure A Timely Response to Keep The Pond Biologically Diverse.
