Town of Cambridge Swale Refurbishment
During 2023 the Town of Cambridge is conducting a project to refurbish the nutrient stripping channels and rehabilitate natural areas on the east side of Lake Monger to improve the quality of stormwater entering the lake.
Information and updates from the Town of Cambridge on the project is here.
The Friends group is contributing to this project. On July 2nd we planted shrubs during one of our regular busy bees. At our August, September and October busy bees we retrieved a large amount of rubbish from the area (including many bottles that were decades old).
