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).

2021 Spring membership meeting, will be virtual. More details to come.

​The DPA will be holding its Fall meeting, virtually, on Sunday Oct. 25 from 7:30-8:30pm. Attached are the instructions to get on the Zoom call in addition to an attachment which walks you through the whole process (joining the call, speaking, voting, muting, raising your hand, etc.)

The agenda includes electing a slate of officers, reviewing the state of the pond, 2021 plans, and voting on the budget.
