"Preserving special places for plants wildlife and the enjoyment of present and future generations"
The public has a long history of access to the area and many have related how they spent many enjoyable hours hiking, fishing, exploring, picking berries, etc. at the pond. On occasion a canoe or kayak can be seen on the pond.
Boivin Way is a continuation of the Sanford Rail Trail, the whole of which is a very long linear park from Main Street in Springvale. Forested and open wetlands along the right of way provide excellent wildlife habitat and opportunities for wildlife watching.
This acquisition reunites what was once part of the original Tombegawoc or Deering Pond as well as the Lydston Grant.
