HPC Status and Priorities
Since our July, 2024 Inaugural Meeting at the Harwich Community Center, a group of 10 board members has been assembled and been meeting monthly to get organized. HPC has filed papers and been approved as a Massachusetts Corporation and has also been granted Federal 501(c)(3) status.
The following priorities for near-term activities have been established:
- Coordinate with Harwich Town officials to coordinate communication about pond health status
- Develop a Healthy Ponds Pledge to encourage pond neighbors and others to eliminate fertilizer and pesticide use, promote sewering, and promote the use of native plants in residential landscaping
- Develop detailed photographic and narrative information about Harwich ponds to be hosted on our website
- Develop a broad contact list covering pond neighbors and other interested parties.
Access meeting notes and minutes here.
Please watch this space for future meetings.
