Town Landing

I was contacted yesterday by Deb Stressing, chair of the W. Danville Community Club asking for help in finding out how people feel about the Town of Danville possibly eliminating the town landing. She said the town  "has accepted that the landing is their responsibility and needs to be repaired," but they are wondering if it gets used enough to warrant keeping it. Those of you who use the landing should contact Audrey Prospero at adeprospero@danvillevermont.org to let her know your sentiments on this issue. Your response(s) will be important in the decision the town makes.

In other news about the pond - I heard this morning from Geri Pelok that the loons that normally have nested on the platform provided years ago have decided this year to nest on Pearl Island. Geri will be contacting owners Liz Sargent and Peggy Pearl to let them know and seek permission to put nest warning signs there, but in the meantime, please know that the loons are there and stay away, and please do not roar by in your boats to make a big wake. As most of us on the pond are aware, the small island has already been eroded over the years and with high water this year, the loon's nest is at very high risk of being washed away. We have had such remarkable success with our loons over the years, it would be very sad to have the nest destroyed this year. We will try to keep you posted on their progress.
