It’s been a long process for Kirkwood Lake residents, coordinating with county, state and township officials to resolve contamination and overgrowth issues at the lake. So far, herbicide has been sprayed on the problem spatterdocks, trash has been removed and plans are being made to dredge the lake. Community members continue to show interest in the lake’s existence. On Saturday, Aug. 3, residents gathered at the lake’s Lindenwold entrance, meeting with Mike Hogan, environmentalist and habitat assessor for South Jersey Land and Water Use Trust, for a nature walk and cleanup.
