Southampton Village recently cut back the phragmites, an invasive species, that line the eastern side of Old Town Pond, and also restored the small dock on the pond and installed a few plantings near where a parking area with geoblocks will be installed. But some are worried that the lack of vegetation near the shoreline could be a problem. CAILIN RILEY
