Dismantling the various buildings is a large task, reasonable care being taken so as not to endanger incipient wildlife, and the holes must be dug deep to deposit the remains of buildings and other accoutrements of present Massachusetts civilization: We do not happily contemplate rediscovery of this phase of life by future generations. Displaced biologists will aid in marshalling wild animals and planting trees...
