Since the 1990s, the members of the Wilson Lake community have conducted a watershed survey about every 10 years.
Watershed surveys provide a snapshot of the condition of the watershed at the time the survey is conducted and document all evidence of sediment erosion. The information gathered during the Wilson Lake survey are used by the Wilson Lake Association (WLA), the Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance (AWWA), and the Town of Acton to guide future efforts to preserve the lake’s water quality for future generations to enjoy.
Thank you to all our volunteers for your efforts over the years.
Below are the full reports, which help us find where we can reduce erosion, improve properties’ landscaping, and ultimately protecting the water quality of the lake we all love:
