Northeast Sector Project

Project Overview

The City of Cambridge has completed an implemented a natural resource management plan for the areas of Lusitania Meadow, Neville Place, and the surrounding slopes.  The Northeast Sector Project restoration program was based on recommendations from the Fresh Pond Reservation Master Plan as well as the preceding Fresh Pond Reservation Natural Resource Inventory and Natural Resource Stewardship Plan.  This project was funded jointly by the Community Preservation Act and the City of Cambridge.

Northeast Sector Project Goals:

• Improve the health of Fresh Pond Reservation and Reservoir by reducing erosion and enhancing natural filtering processes.
• Reduce invasive plant species and increase native species diversity.
• Create beautiful, universally accessible space within the Reservation.
• Produce new, inviting active use areas further from the Reservoir.
