On the second Sunday of each month the Friends has a busy bee at the lake. Typical activities include weeding, rubbish collection and planting. So come along and join us. For 2024 Please note the change to the schedule compared to 2023. Volunteers should wear sturdy shoes, long pants and sleeves. Please bring appropriate sun protection and gloves. Please sign on at the start of the morning. Busy bees generally last about 90 minutes.

Town of Cambridge Swale Refurbishment During 2023 the Town of Cambridge conducted a project to refurbish the nutrient stripping channels and rehabilitate natural areas on the east side of Lake Monger to improve the quality of stormwater entering the lake. The Friends group contributed to this project. On July 2nd we planted shrubs during one of our regular busy bees. At our August, September and October busy bees we retrieved a large amount of rubbish from the area (including many bottles that were decades old). Information and updates from the Town of Cambridge on the project are here and here.
