The
Knob continues to be a major attraction to the public for
its nature walk, birding, marsh, coastal bank and its
spectacular views of Quissett Harbor and Buzzards Bay.
The inevitable result of the sharing of this rare
property with members of the general public has
made it imperative to constantly evaluate the
ecological damage on a regular basis and make
timely corrections.
Every year we budget for
needed maintenance and repairs on the property.
Again, we are replacing beach grass where it is needed on the outer banks. Further, we continue to replace and repair fencing
on the causeway and Crescent Beach areas due to the corrosion from the environment.
We encourage the many visitors and membership of Salt Pond
to be considerate of the property. Please remain on the main trails, don’t leave anything behind when you leave and no
throwing stones from the rip-rap areas are constant reminders to the Knob visitors.
We again thank the Quissett Harbor Preservation Trust and the Quissett Harbor House Land Trust for their collaborative efforts, both
financially and physically, of our organization and their on-going assistance with the Knob property.
