The Pond At present the approach to the pond is fairly abrupt, descending a steep portion of the trail which is actively eroding.
The path has been
lengthened to provide a gentle~ slope as well as a more indirect approach. Two simple wooden benches, one in the sun and the other in the shade, invite the walker to rest a while among the banks of winterberry (Ilex verticillata) and elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) planted at the water's edge.
A simple rock, serving as a memorial to George, was suggested by
Mrs. Lorimer to complete the setting. In the future more extensive restoration of the wetland habitats may be desired.
