This year for call to action day, I aided in uprooting plants that were not indigenous to Waterdog Lake in Belmont. This is important to maintain the grow because these plants will take over and kill other indigenous plants that are necessary to maintain that ecosystem. I was accompanied by Jonathan Slocum, Manny Andrade, and Tiffanie Lee.
We were fortunate to work with Jonathan Gervais, the Belmont Parks and Recreation Director that spoke in our class. This call to action day was relevant to the State and Local Government class because we were helping a city entity (Belmont Parks and Recreations) in it's task to preserve the plants in Waterdog lake and remove the plants that are harmful. This is one of the many tasks that the parks department has. To help them will save them many hours of much need man power and help the environment, both at the same time. During this time, we experienced how this entity serves the city of Belmont and the multitude of tasks that are required to maintain this large piece of Belmont's property.
