You can support your Reservation by donating to the Friends!
Friends of Fresh Pond Reservation (FFPR) is a volunteer citizens' group that was formed in 2001 with the dual goals of offering free hands-on nature programs for the public and participating in stewardship efforts on the Reservation.
In recent years, the Cambridge Water Department’s Fresh Pond Rangers have taken over the role of providing nature education for the public, while the Friends group has maintained its commitment to stewardship. We manage the Woodland Restoration Project, a one-acre woodlot on the north shore of the Pond, where we have worked since 2007 to improve the health and biodiversity of the woods.
We rely on donations to buy plants and materials for the Woodland Restoration Project. In addition, we support the Fresh Pond Rangers by providing needed program materials. This includes live music and live animal displays at the annual Fresh Pond Day celebration and snacks for children’s programs.
Donations also support this Friends of Fresh Pond Reservation website. It contains lots of information about the Reservation: its history, its animals and plants, maps, poems, photos, project reports, a calendar of current events, and much more. Feel free to explore!
You can help the Friends by making a donation of any size!
