With blistering winds and deep snow Land Stewards Kevin Brooker and Alexander van Engelen went out onto Smith Pond to check up on the condition of the Wood Duck boxes.

This, of course, is best done when there is thick ice in winter, since the boxes are near or above water.

Join UVLT and Enfield Shaker Museum for a hike to Smith Pond! Hikers will meet at the UVLT trailhead off Route 4A at 9:30 am for a brief introduction and begin the hike at 10:00 am. The route follows the UVLT trail with a side spur to the waterfall. While the hike is moderately difficult, hikers can choose to follow the gentler canal route and turn back when the terrain gets steeper.
