Data Collection and Research on the Reservation
Science is always in action at Fresh Pond Reservation!
Good data enables good watershed and recreation management decisions on the Reservation, and in our upper watershed. Staff and volunteers are constantly keeping tabs on Reservation usage, water quality, wildlife populations and invasive weed encroachment.
