The excitement behind the Andover EcoPark is a combination of the natural atrributes of the Pomp's Pond region with the very special opportunities it provides. An EcoPark would provide local schools, scouting groups, and other organizations the resources to explore ecological and biological principles in a setting where they can be experienced firsthand.  The creation of age-appropriate, season-dependent learning materials is a fundamental goal of this new organization.  In addition to these materials, the physical structures in the Park would be designed to support classroom-sized groups. The Park's ecological objective would be both to enhance local species and to reintroduce species which have long since disappeared.  The potential for introduction of state and federally protected species of special concern would be a high priority. Finally, this region and the long neglected gravel pit would be reclaimed in a way that will allow appropriate human access and create a town-wide asset that generations of all ages will value.  Signs, boardwalks, and observation points will be constructed with the core ecological objectives in mind.
