During the fall of 2001 the BI493 class studied Lake George and Oaks Pond and their respective watersheds
We became involved in this study as a result of last year’s study of Lake Wesserunsett
We were asked by interested residents to study the water quality and watersheds of Lake George and Oaks Pond
Over the summer representatives from the class met with residents and town and park officials
Sampling began in the summer, but was continued intensely in the fall
