WPI 'Indian Lake Loop' Presentation
Tuesday, January 12th
at 6:30 pm
Three WPI Students are working on ideas for the Indian Lake Loop as part of their Independent Qualifying Project, or IQP, one of WPI's primary degree requirements. The IQP challenges students to address a problem that lies at the intersection of science, technology and society and is typically completed by interdisciplinary teams of two to four students working under the direct guidance of one or more faculty advisors. This project is split into 2 phases. In this first phase, which began in the fall of 2020, Nisreen Aljumaili, Evelyn Mortimer and Nicolas Tagaris, evaluated existing conditions on the frequently traveled 3 mile path and connected with numerous groups, businesses and neighbors to come up with ideas for enhancements to make it a true 'destination' in the city. The results of their efforts will be presented on Tuesday, January 12th at 6:30 pm in a casual Zoom conference.

The public is welcome and encouraged to attend. Please email indianlakeboard@charter.net to receive the login credentials for this online meeting..

Indian Lake Alum Dosing Station Moves Forward
The Alum Dosing Station has been approved by the Conservation Commission and we remain very hopeful that this state-of-the-art addition will move forward this spring!

Alum (aluminum sulfate) is a nontoxic material commonly used in water treatment plants to clarify drinking water. It has been utilized successfully on numerous projects in Massachusetts and around the country to lower phosphorus and nutrient levels, reducing the frequency and severity of nuisance algae blooms. It has proven it's effectiveness during pre season applications at Indian lake since 2015.

Evaluating and moving forward new ideas in lake management is a huge win for the City of Worcester!
Anglers Event Series Coming Soon....
We are focused on identifying water quality challenges that are directly impacting local fisheries, evaluating management solutions, and promoting fishing and environmental stewardship. As part of this effort, we are in the process of planning an Anglers Event Series. This will offer opportunities to highlight stories from existing anglers while introducing new individuals and families to the sport and providing educational opportunities. Look for more information coming soon!
Volunteers participate in our first ever (and hopefully last!) socially distant cleanup!
