Please respect Blueberry Island

Horn Pond is truly a magical place. We enjoy such a diverse offering of natural beauty which encompasses our ‘river pond’.
One such attraction is Davis Island aka ‘Blueberry Island’ located in the northern end near the marsh.

As a reminder, Davis Island is privately owned. The owner has asked me once again to ‘post’ the island and ask that our residents respect that choice. Recalling damage incurred in the past which included trees cut down and burned, litter and fecal matter, along with the fact that federally protected birds nest there, I think that their request is reasonable so please stay off.  The fact that previous signage has been removed or destroyed means that there are still a few bad apples out there.

Boats are still welcome to moor in its’ cove, circle it and pick the abundance of blueberries which grow there seasonally and enjoy it’s proud stature from afar.

We should work together in order to preserve all the treasures of our pond. FYI: I readily view and will monitor the island from the New Hampshire side while Michael Salusti has volunteered to oversee it from his perch on the Maine side.

Please encourage your guests or tenants to respect this request.

Thank you.
