STOCKBRIDGE â Itâs clear sailing on Stockbridge Bowl â for now. But, if the Eurasian milfoil weeds that bedeviled the state-owned, town-maintained âGreat Pondâ in most previous summers (excluding last year) return, the game plan to attack any infestation remains murky. A weed-harvesting plan for limited portions of the lake this summer is âalmost finalized,â Town Administrator Michael Canales told the Select Board recently. The details await approval from the state Department of Environmental Protection. And any work by the town harvesters would depend on the extent of renewed weed infestation in a potential state-permitted 10-acre section. Responding to an Eagle query, Stockbridge Bowl Association President Richard Seltzer said the town has announced plans to seek permits from MassWildlifeâs Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program for harvesting weeds around the full perimeter of the lake. The associationâs board ex ....

Although last summerâs infestation was not nearly as bad as in recent years, the invasive weed is expected to make a comeback in the next year or two. ....
Time Past I am past president and present honorary member of the Stockbridge Bowl Association. The SBA was founded in 1947 by Anson Phelps Stokes. Its mission statement was and has remained âto preserve and protect the Stockbridge Bowl.â Now 73 years later, the SBA board and its 350 members strive to fulfill this mission. A Stockbridge selectman once said: âThe commonwealth of Massachusetts owns Stockbridge Bowl, and the town owns its problems.â For decades, the SBA has worked with the town to solve the lakeâs âproblems.â It is our hope to continue working with the town. I literally grew up at the lake and well remember when we could paddle kayaks under the causeway into Lily Brook holding pond. The pond was filled with fish, and the beavers also ventured there to the dismay of the fishermen. It is now partially filled with sediment and becoming a vegetation wetland. As such, it is beyond the townâs control to remediate. The ....
