A committed community member, William Timperley volunteers at Choate Medical Center and New England Rehabilitation Hospital. He also serves with the Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance, where he works with the Youth Conservation Corps. In this position, William Timperley guides young people in learning to work manually and how to protect the natural water supply.
The 68-acre body of water known as Lake Ivanhoe, or Round Pound, lies under the protection of the Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance (AWWA). Located north of Great East Lake in a 455-acre watershed, Lake Ivanhoe maintains its water quality partly due to the assistance of the Youth Conservation Corps (YCC). Members of the YCC have helped to halt sediment from running into the lake and prevented excess phosphorus from polluting the water.
The AWWA aims to provide long-term protection to natural areas through watershed planning. The organization involves volunteers in guarding lake waters from toxins and ensuring local construction will not negatively impact the watershed, among other services.
