Volunteer Appreciation Dinner - Cambridge Water Dept. Cafeteria
Chip Norton (first photo, center) and his staff cooked a delicious dinner to show their appreciation for those whose donate their time and talent at the Reservation. In addition, the volunteers were given gloves (for weeding) and a native plant to take home. Eric Houston (third photo, holding tool) is one of several volunteers who removes invasive plants that grow at Fresh Pond. We were entertained by his humorous demonstrations of how to remove burdock (a very tough plant to remove) with the tool he invented for this purpose. He providedadditional amusement by reading his witty poems that describe the ups and downs of his weeding experiences.
