 There have been, and continue to be, many attempts at stabilizing and increasing the loon count on Lovewell Pond, as well as countless other ponds in the Northeast.According to first-hand accounts, there are only about 4-6 adult loons on Lovewell Pond and a few chicks.Residents of the pond have hand-built floating nests for the loons to lay their eggs on, in hopes of creating a better chance of survival.
