The Friends of Seven Ponds, a.k.a. The Stingers, is a devoted, hardworking, and friendly volunteer group that raises funds to help support the nature center's operating budget. Activities include bake sales, book sales, the Annual Rummage Sale, the Resale Shop, and assistance with the Holiday Auction. The group meets at noon on the first Monday of the month from April through October. Some like to meet earlier to enjoy lunch together prior to the meeting.
