Here is a brilliant video, posted once again, made by a few Salemites on Driscoll's Corporate Priorities for Salem, in building over dedicated green Open Space. Lowe's has withdrawn from building here since this video was made, but the threat of development still continues.
Occupy
In light of the Occupy Together movement, our actions here in fighting off corporations from destroying Spring Pond Woods has had its own battle for a year and a half now. The battle was encouraged by the voices of hundreds. Thank you for signing the petitions, and sending letters to local and state officials. The battle to protect this pristine forest, wetlands and campground is not over.

Camp Lion in Salem, MA saved by Volunteers... and the Economy

In SaveCamps.org own words:
"SaveCamps.org has written before about the possibility of protecting this camp through a conservation easement. I hope the dropped plans for the Lowe’s store will make the board members of Camp Lion more agreeable to exploring this option. For now Camp Lion is saved and it would seem we have the economy and a lot of dedicated volunteers to thank. Thanks and good luck with your continued efforts in Salem."

Some Signs of love
Children's hand imprints are found on the ledge in these woods. Is it imaginable, a beloved wilderness-playground serving nearly 1,000 children at camp, could have been blasted away for corporate priorities? Hope these signs last forever, as the children thought when cementing their prints into stone.
More Spring Pond discoveries...
A frog splashes off to the side of a stream running down a trail.
Another bat house is constructed.
Fresh dear marks are near a stream.
A beautiful hilltop, with....
a depression on the cliffside, filled with stones.
