Not at all disparaging the new owner for being welcoming to birders, but does he have a choice in being okay with people using the driveway? My understanding is that it’s a Right-Of-Way, meaning he must allow people access, or is that not the case? More of just a curiosity thing of “what would happen if someone was not welcoming to us”?
In either case, thrilled to know he’s okay with us using the driveway, I love that spot so much. Thanks for letting us know, and I hope he knows how much we appreciate being able to get to that trail!

>> As many of you know when parking along Main Street at the corner of Newberry Road there is a house which was run down. It has now been renovated and a new owner will move in shortly. His name is Joe Valenti and he knows me. Like the previous owner he is o k with birders walking up his driveway to gain access to the trail that goes to the marsh. He even put up a fence so his dog will not bother anyone and situated it so that there is ample space for people to get by. Just a F Y I
