Lake Wingra has a "Sister Lake" in Massachusetts

 .
What if you had a chance to go back in time, to protect Lake Wingra, or Lake Mendota, before it became polluted?   Fantasy?  No...

Today, you have a chance to do just that... by protecting a pristine lake that looks like Lake Wingra did in 1850.

Hawksnest Pond today...
prinstine water, because the shore is perfectly preserved.

Lake Wingra has a "sister pond" in Massachusetts.  It's called Hawksnest Pond.  Hawksnest State Park is so neglected and abused it doesn't even have an official sign.

Lake Wingra and Hawksnest Pond are sisters...

• About the same size.
• Wingra has many springs... Hawksnest is fed entirely by pure groundwater.
• Shorelines of both lakes are mostly public, protected lands.
• Land surrounding Wingra is urbanized; lands beyond Hawksnest Park are rapidly urbanizing.
• Wingra aspires to some water clarity; Hawksnest is still incredibly pristine.
• Lake Wingra has the world-famous UW Arboretum; Hawksnest is home to two endangered species and two species of special concern.
