In late autumn, the bench is removed by the municipality so that it does not suffer damage from the weather in winter.

Old Turpentine Taps In the 1960s and early 1970s, resin was tapped from the pine trees here to produce turpentine oil for cosmetic and medicinal purposes. The trees probably won't stand much longer, as they are now reaching maturity for harvesting.
