A developer is proposing to turn the blueberry barrens along Route 172 (Salt Pond Rd) that overlook the Salt Pond as you drive south out of Blue Hill into a 9-house subdivision. The construction would destroy a unique landscape, potentially limit access to Carleton Stream for commercial elver fishermen and women who have fished it for generations, and potentially endanger local wildlife and aquaculture in and around the Salt Pond.

This painting captures the Salt Pond Blueberry Barrens' beauty we are still able to access and enjoy. Hopefully this painting does not become a way to remember what it once was.
