Anyone who has walked the Mallard Landing pathway recently will have noticed that much of the heavy overgrowth has been cleared out and views of the lake restored.  Mallard Landing HOA's Deb Coomer and Cathy Jama started the process last year by meeting with county/township personnel to walk the path and request clean up of weed trees and other non-native plants/bushes that were rapidly growing wild and blocking the view of the pond.  This dialogue and engagement culminated with a December workforce that began clearing out around the pathway between Kearney Road and the Tot Lot playground and surrounding area. Work then moved along the path toward Millbrook Court. The improvement has been dramatic. More work around the pond and the path toward Plainfield Road is expected in the spring.

Additionally, Mallard Landing commissioned the removal of trees near the swings at the Tot Lot as well as tree and bush growth by the street. The result has been to really open up the lake view. Thanks to Cathy and Deb and Mallard Landing's efforts to work in conjunction with the County and Township to help beautify this area.
