Membership donations support the following Friends of Worthley Pond programs and efforts:

  • The LakeSmart Program, which works with shoreline property owners to define vegetation and landscaping plans that eliminate/minimize water runoff into the pond.  Learn more
  • Invasive plant monitoring, which includes training FWP members to identify these plants and employing people to perform Courtesy Boat Inspections on boats entering our pond at either of our two boat launches.
