Wayland Surface Water Quality Committee

Mike Lowery has been a member of the Wayland Surface Water Quality Committee for years and has been active in invasive species control. WSWQC has organized programs for invasives control in Wayland's great ponds using combinations of methods: hand- harvesting, DASH, barriers, herbicide, and nutrient controls.

He urges communication and education to help reconcile varying public interests in lake management. He is the author of the key NOI Proposal (recently presented to the Conservation Commissions of Framingham, Natick, and Wayland) to enable abutters to purchase handpulling and DASH Boat services to remove Eurasian Water Milfoil from their lakefront property.

Mike has lived on the Wayland shores of Lake Cochituate and Dudley Pond for thirty years, and operates a software firm in Framingham

Our Purpose

To promote a collaborative, community-based alliance that enhances and protects the environmental integrity of the Lake Cochituate Watershed in Massachusetts. We hope to educate the public about the "shed" part of watershed.

To explore and connect with other watershed organizations throughout New England by making visits, attending conferences, reaching out, and adopting successful educational and problem-solving strategies.

Aspire to a comprehensive watershed approach - which includes public and municipal education; tributary restoration, water, habitat and wildlife monitoring.
