Century-Old White Pine Falls in Searsburg River Valley
In Wilmington three pines once stood at Bax ton, Bond's, and Merton Rice properties planted by Willard Sumner of Putney. The Merton Rice tree, struck by lightning last fall, declined due to bark damage and insects, leading to its removal. Birds had nested there for generations, and residents recall the monarch as a gathering home for robins and chickadees while it stood.
