In the late 1980s a community conservation project was established to create a wildlife habitat encompassing the site of the former village pond. This project proved enormously successful and won a number of major national and international awards. These rather vociferous residents who guard the pond now expect to be fed morsels of bread from every car that merely stops at this location. The lake in the background is frozen over and had been so for a week or so.
