Residents should not expect new bog bridges at Harvard Pond/Huckins Farm soon. The denial does not permanently bar a revised proposal, but the committee indicated that additional work should pause while requirements and mitigation options are studied. Elsewhere, the committee planned about 200 feet of bog-bridge replacement at Springs Brook and discussed a contractor estimate of approximately $17,000 to extend a Hartwell Town Forest boardwalk.
