Weeders!
These five women have just spent two hours removing Buckthorns, invasive under-story trees, from the woods in back of Neville Place. Teams of volunteers participating in the Cambridge Water Department's "Fresh Pond Stewardship Program" have worked for more than 500 hours this year, removing weeds from recently restored areas on the northeast side of Fresh Pond. The orange tools are Weed Wrenches®, indispensable time-savers that can be used to pull small trees out of the ground, roots and all.
