Help Us Preserve Burdon Pond!
The VandenAkkers, Dam Safety, DEP and Bridget McAlice of Fisheries and Wildlife state that the beaver dam is something that was manmade to get around an injunction. Here are videos of these non-existent beavers - decide for yourself!
How can the "significant waterfront owners" ask a judge to enforce an injunction that conflicts with their own documents? Please click here for details.
Why is the West End Group flooding? Click here to find out. Note the changes in the bankings and removal of vegetation over time.

Our Mission
As owners of Burdon Dam, we are preserving this historic 1768 structure.As owners of Burdon Pond, we are dedicated to restoring this historic pond and rejuvenating the native wildlife and vegetation. Circulation of the water has improved, and the pond was nice and high this spring (2010), feeding the brook to Lily Pond, then Whitin Pond and Meadow Pond. This summer (2010) has brought challenges, though, with the unusual weather (hot with virtually no rain) and additional water withdrawals.
Therefore, we are dedicated to the following:
- Restoring the natural flow of water both into and out of the Pond.
- Keeping the Pond free of pollution, so the natural wildlife and vegetation can flourish.
- Preventing dumping and other alterations to the Pond and its shoreline.
- Keeping the Pond in as natural a state as possible for (non-power) boating and (catch and release) fishing.
