This is our web site. If you live on Pickerel Pond, it's your web site. I haven't put too much time or effort into it yet. Which means I'm fully ready for you all to tell me how a web site best serves the people who live on Pickerel Pond.

To start with, anyone on the pond should be able to register. Sign up, and if I can match you to a residence on the pond, I'll complete your registration.

At the spring meeting, some concern was raised about water levels in the pond--while they had risen with the rain, some owners felt that they fell quicker than usual this spring.

In response, I inspected the outlet culvert on the afternoon of 28 May 2005.

The culvert appeared to be in good condition. The normal weir boards across the face of the culvert covered half the pipe, appeared to be securely in place and undisturbed. At the time of the inspection, water was cresting the weir boards by a depth somewhat greater than 1 inch.

In the past few years, there has been netting in front of the culvert to ensure hydrilla did not flow out of the pond.

Saturday, June 17, 9-11 A.M., Alfred Town Hall, Alfred, ME

2006 York County Invasive Aquatic Species Project Presentation/Workshop

Join Laurie Callahan (aquatic biologist) at the Town Hall in Alfred, Maine, for the first of a series of three free public presentations/workshops focusing on invasive aquatic species in York County. At the first workshop, on June 17, information will be presented about the three invasive aquatic plant species that are currently present in York County waterbodies, about invasive aquatic species that are present in other areas of Maine and about others that are close by, just over the border in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Callahan will provide information on invasive plant management projects currently underway in York County and other areas of Maine, and will also have information about native and invasive aquatic plant training opportunities that will be happening this summer in York County and Maine. Included in the Saturday program will be an invasive aquatic plant identification exercise utilizing fresh and pressed samples of the eleven invasive aquatic plant species of concern in Maine. A discussion session will be held at the end of the program to gather attendees’ suggestions and concerns to determine the content for the second two workshops to be scheduled in July and August. An additional half hour (11-11:30) will be available if needed.
