The Boscawen side of Walker Pond, a former source of drinking water owned by the local water district, has been preserved from development. What happens on the Webster side of the pond remains to be seen.
The land around the 200-acre pond has been owned for decades by the Penacook-Boscawen Water Precinct, which now provides water from wells to about 1,100 customers, mostly residential, in Boscawen and Penacook. On Wednesday night, the precinct voted unanimously to sell the two parcels in Boscawen, totaling about 65 acres, to the town for $90,000. The purchase, made with conservation commission funds, had previously been approved by the Boscawen select board.
Bagaduce River-wide fishways project hits new milestone
BROOKSVILLE On a recent spring day, Mike Thalhauser peered down into the recently restored alewife run at Walker Pond to see if any of the anadromous fish had completed the journey from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the local freshwater pond.
To the disappointment of the lurking gulls, there were none, but this spring, thousands of alewives will likely make the final sprint along the spruced–up run for the first time in order to get to the pond to spawn.
It’s something that only a few years ago wasn’t as easy a task for alewives, an important species in the ecosystem’s food chain.
