please keep an eye out for small slow moving pedestrians as we're now into the time when turtles, frogs, and other creatures are moving between land and water. I'll post a few photos from a visit a few days ago. Also if you see any humans behaving inappropriately this should be reported to either the bar steward or to the village hall. Please Respect The Park! Take license plate numbers if available associated with bad behavior- neighborhood watch rules... re photos the vernal pond is near it's highest seasonal level ( it receives water from lake and bay through the gravel and so goes up and down with those levels). If you check it out watch for TICKS!
