About Us.
The Whitman's Pond Association is a nonprofit organization entrusted with the charge to maintain the viability of Whitman's Pond by working in conjunction with the Department of Public Works which is the manager of the pond, the Herring Run wardens, and Massachusetts Wildlife. Whitman's Pond is the spawning ground for Atlantic alewives commonly referred to as herring. Our Herring Run is the second largest in the state after the town of Middleboro.
During the last ten years, the Association has conducted pond cleanups, and has held a fishing festival assisted by Massachusetts Wildlife, an event where casting rods are supplied for use by the state and bait is provided by the Whitman's Pond Association. There is no cost to anxious anglers - a great event to encourage youngsters to appreciate the great outdoors, and from the enjoyment of fishing, greatly respect the environment.
The Whitman's Pond Association has recently worked with the Preservation Committee to purchase land abutting the pond so that it will remain undeveloped, worked to get herbicide put into the weed-infested West Cove, and had invasive weeds removed from the Main Basin by a harvesting machine. The Association is constantly working to keep the pond healthy, and prevent eutrophication, the process whereby a body of water fails and becomes a swamp.
In order to continue to protect a marvelous resource that sits in the approximate geographic center of our town, we ask for your support so that we can protect our valuable resource.
