Fall/Winter 2014 Newsletter

2014 was busy all year long, and with the May 4th Community Day, the May 18 dedication of the Eris Doorneweerd Entry to the Sanctuary, and the June 16 Annual Meeting (featuring historian Susan Helms Daley’s presentation “Who Was Harriet Hemenway”) the Friends have been active not only in the sanctuary but also out in the community on behalf of the sanctuary.

Hall’s Pond and Amory Woods

Hall’s Pond Sanctuary together with the adjacent Amory woods, it is the only land in North Brookline set aside for conservation purposes. The sanctuary, which is administered by the Brookline Conservation Commission, consists of a pond, wetlands, an upland area, a formal garden area, and a short trail with wetland overlooks that circles the pond.

About the Friends

The Friends partners with the Conservation Commission as stewards of the sanctuary. Their initiatives include Community Work Days, tending the Formal Garden and raising funds for the Horticultural Fund.

Sanctuary Work Plan

In 2009, The Commission, the Town Parks & Open Space Division, and the Friends of Hall’s Pond volunteer group developed this work plan to guide ongoing collaboration, to preserve and protect the sanctuary, and to express a management approach based on respect for wildlife areas as natural habitat.
