In 2005, the Land Trust protected the Pond’s forests, wetlands, and the remains of the historic grist mill for which the area is named. A grist mill is where grains such as wheat, rye, oat and or barley is ground up to make flour of meal. Go to the realated web page to see how a grist mill works. This area is going to be a recreational trail that would provide our community with greater opportunity to experience the beauty of the great outdoors right in their own “backyard”. In the last 6 years, the Land Trust and its partners have removed dumpster loads of trash and debris, painstakingly controlled invasive species, hand-cut foot paths, and have secured funding for a 2.5 mile multi-use trail loop that will wind through the forest and around the Pond, with breathtaking views of wild birds nesting in the restored wetland areas. So please be careful and remember to cache in and trash out. The first segment of this trail is complete and waiting for the next.
Remeber while out in the area please CITO. Every little bit helps.
