Mission

The mission of the Friends of White Pond is to monitor the water quality of White Pond and its surroundings and to spearhead improvements where they might be needed.

The Friends of White Pond was created in 1987. In that year, because of concerns about the degradation of the water quality of the pond, the Town's White Pond advisory Committee held a public meeting for concerned neighbors of the pond. In that meeting, they reported that based on the experiences of other ponds around the state, the best way to protect the pond would be to have a grass roots citizens organization whose main focus would be to monitor, advocate for, and improve the water quality of the pond. People who cared about the pond responded and the "Friends" was born.
