Formerly a central industrial site, the land turned into what it is now —  abandoned.

The Bobolink Project pays owners of fields, often farmers, to conduct bird-friendly practices. The birds get time and habitat to nest while the landowners get some compensation for letting them do so.

Quebec’s first case since 2015 was found just a mile across the border from a rabid raccoon in Highgate.

According to Curt Lindberg, chair of the Waitsfield Conservation Commission, the project spans a cumulative 260 worksites across the region.
