Closed & Treated
Areas of Robinson Pond were chemically treated on Tuesday, July 7, to control the growth of non-native aquatic vegetation. As a result the town closed the use of the pond. Two areas of the pond were treated with a herbicide, one near the public boat launch and beach; and the other was in the southern portion of the pond. Photo by Chris Paul

Renewed Restoration Efforts Begin on Benson Park Lion’s Pride Statues

The Benson Park Advisory Committee met on June 18 with encouraging news about the long running effort to restore the park’s historic Lion’s Pride statues. After years of slow progress, the project has gained new momentum thanks to fresh volunteer involvement and a recent $200 donation earmarked for repair work.
Committee Chair Sue Clement said volunteers have already begun hands-on restoration. “We are working on the Lions currently, we have some good volunteers who have started,” she said. “First up is going to be cleaning it. They’re also looking into rebuilding one of the statue’s poor tail, because the tail is no longer there. I’ve been sending pictures that I have, though I only have one or two, that show how long the tail was.”
