Fresh Pond Reservation Master Plan 

The Fresh Pond Reservation Master Plan was the culmination of over two years of work by an advisory committee made up of citizens of Cambridge and City officials.  This committee was established to create a comprehensive management plan for Fresh Pond Reservoir and the surrounding Reservation lands. 

Currently, the Cambridge Water Department and the members of the Fresh Pond Advisory Board are working to implement the restorative changes mandated in the Fresh Pond Reservation Master Plan.
