In our ongoing efforts to preserve the natural beauty and resources of our town, the proposed paving of the nature trail near Haggetts Pond raises significant concerns. Haggetts Pond isn’t just a scenic spot in our community; it’s the primary water source for Andover. The plan to pave the trail, involving excavating soil and laying down asphalt, threatens the purity and safety of our water supply. The introduction of toxic asphalt materials and the disturbance of soil in this critical area could have irreversible impacts on our water quality. It’s imperative that we reconsider the paving project to ensure the health and safety of our community and the preservation of our natural resources.
