Our Four-Acre Pond Needs Your Help
Ecological Efforts Support Fun and Wildlife
$100,000 will go toward creating greater access to the pond for people of all abilities, and rejuvenating the ecological health of our pond.
Pond Upgrades
The money we raise in our Fall Fundraiser will go toward these improvements.
Wheelchair Accessible Dock
Easy loading of pedal boats, kayaks, and canoes, for every person, regardless of abilities.
Full-Pond Aeration System
Aeration helps to reduce algae growth and rebalance nutrient load in the pond.
Directional Water Circulators
Circulators keep the dock area clear of leaves, debris, and muck and improve water clarity
Floating Plant Islands
Installation of Floating Plant Islands will mimic nature's floating bogs that absorb nutrients and provide fish cover.
Fostering Good Bacteria
Installation of BioBoost Nests, an eco-friendly system that provides a home to good bacteria, and improves water quality.
Reducing Algae Growth
Barley Straw Bales to discourage algae growth without the use of harsh chemicals
Encouraging Decomposition
Sinking Bacteria Tablets to speed up the decomposition of organic matter, like leaves and branches, and reduce nutrient load.
Strategic Planting
Planting can help control shoreline erosion and water quality at the pond's edges.
Trail Maintenance
Encourage safe and accessible fishing, boating, and hiking.
Healthy Ponds Require Thoughtful Design
We are partnering with experts from Hurth Waterscapes and Steiner Electric to create greater access and rejuvenate the ecological health of our beautiful four-acre pond.
With their plans, we can ensure the pond stays a beautiful, healthy place to boat, fish, and listen to tunes by the lagoon.
