Over 35 Waltham Land Trust members, local officials and community members gathered at 170 Lakeview Ave. on Saturday to celebrate WLT’s purchase of a new 0.8 acre Hardy Pond-adjacent parcel for conservation and public recreation. The purchase expands Lakeview Preserve, which was purchased by the Land Trust in 2023. The gathering was preceded by a 1-mile WLT-guided tour of Hardy Pond’s Pondside Walkway.
