Fun Facts...
These preying mantis egg cases have recently been placed on the Bridge by Buckland-Shelburne Elementary 5th grade junior volunteers. The eggs will begin to hatch out as the weather warms and the baby mantises will emerge, float to the ground and begin to eat insects that are soft - like aphids - until they get older. This is the only insect that can turn its head and look over its shoulder - watch out bugs!
The soil depth on the Bridge is 9 feet deep at the columns and 2 1/2 feet deep below the path.
The Deerfield River is not the only water under the Bridge - there is an 8-inch water line that runs through the middle of the path and pumps water up to a half-million gallon water tank continuously, serving the entire town of Buckland. Water lines were installed in 1912 and the Bridge's line was replaced in 1984 during reconstruction. The Bridge is owned by the Shelburne Falls Fire and Water District.
