This committee was dissolved in 2012.
Background
Warner's Pond, which is at the base of a large watershed for Nashoba and Fort Pond Brooks, has been a valuable asset to the Town of Concord and of late, has developed issues with sediment buildup which encourages non-native aquatic invasive weeds that threaten recreation, water quality and habitat within the pond. If allowed to continue unchecked, this growth could eventually fill in the pond. With input from outside consultants it is necessary for the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) to develop a management plan as a guide to help restore the pond.
To assist in managing the water quality and native plant ecology of the pond, the Natural Resources Commission appointed a stewardship committee, the Warner's Pond Stewardship Committee (the WPSC) to promote active citizen participation and stewardship to contribute to the management of this natural resource which would also include the Nashoba and Fort Pond Brooks on the north, where they enter the Town of Concord and Warner's Pond and on the downstream side of Warner's where Nashoba Brook continues to the southeast until it joins with the Assabet River, by support of management objectives adopted by the NRC.
