On Wednesday May 22, 2013 biologists from Dominion’s Millstone Environmental Lab, in cooperation with volunteers from the Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, Town of East Lyme, and Friends of Oswegatchie Hills Nature Preserve restored native plantings along the shoreline of Clark Pond in the nature preserve. The scope of activities included removing invasive plant species and replanting with native tree and shrub species. Funds for the native trees and shrubs were provided by contributions to the “Friends” from the Dominion Foundation and a grant awarded to the Town of East Lyme. This project builds upon last year’s very successful riparian buffer enhancement, which is designed to control erosion and minimize runoff into Clark Pond.
