About Friends of Morses Pond

The Friends of Morses Pond (FOMP) Association is a group of citizens interested in issues affecting Morses Pond. There are no requirements for joining, and everyone interested in the Pond is encouraged to attend FOMP meetings.

How the Association Works

The Association works on two fronts to preserve and protect the pond:
  1. When state and local issues arise that affect Morses Pond, FOMP is the voice of citizens who care about the well-being, utility, and aesthetics of the Pond and its environment.
  2. FOMP officers keep in close contact with the Town of Wellesley: Natural Resources, Public Works, and Recreation, the most important Town departments concerned with the Pond.

FOMP holds meetings where members discuss Town actions and policies that affect the Pond. FOMP officers inform Town officials of member's views and concerns.

The Town holds hearings and meetings on Pond related issues and FOMP officers and members attend to speak for the FOMP member's interests.

Members also work directly to maintain the health and beauty of the Pond, by:
-Holding periodic clean-up days.
-Hand harvesting of weeds, primarily waterlily and waterchestnut.
