Ecological and Management Study of the DelCarte Ponds

You may recall that a study was being done on the ecology of the DelCarte Open Space to help determine what to do about improving the fishing opportunity. 

Invasive plant species were reported to be spreading their impact. Over time the species could make the pond less habitable for fish. Why bother stocking the ponds if the fish weren't going to last? 

The study has just been published on the Franklin webpage. A copy of the report has been posted here for your convenience:
