The band will be on 2 pontoon boats leaving from the area around Jamie Pierce's house along the Dudley peninsula, at 4pm, and navigating around the pond (according to tradewinds and crowds) for about an hour.

The Pondworthies will be performing their brand of island vibe tunes at the Snyder's beachfront (4 Lakeshore Drive) on Sat. July 10 at 2PM. They've upped their game with some bumpin' bass and lead guitar, along with our vocal harmonies, drums flute, kazoo and sax! It should be fun afternoon on lovely Dudley Pond.

ARC Gendron pond report

6/16/2021

Aquatic Restoration Consulting, LLC (ARC) performed an aquatic macrophyte survey at Dudley Pond. The attached report provides a summary of the macrophyte conditions encountered on September 18, 2020 and a recommended path forward based on the Dudley Pond Association’s goal to implement a long-term management strategy reducing reliance on herbicides. In the attached report, we utilize the results of our macrophyte survey and limited review of prior reports to conceptualize possible pilot studies to assess non-herbicide control of target species (milfoil and tapegrass).
