More open space may soon be accessible in North Yarmouth if residents decide next month to expand Knight’s Pond Preserve in Cumberland by adding a parcel of land that crosses the town line. Developer Ben Grover donated the 13-acre parcel as part his Village Center Estates subdivision. The North Yarmouth Select Board unanimously approved accepting the land donation on Feb. 14. Final approval will go before residents at North Yarmouth’s annual Town Meeting on April 30. Knight’s Pond Preserve now encompasses 334 acres and is home to a 46-acre pond and a rare oak-hickory forest.
