Fall Pruning in WSG
As many of you have been aware during the latter part of June, Ruppert Landscape has been pruning hedges around the parking areas as well as other bushes/shrubs in Common Areas. This was done due to the post-Rejuvenation growth that needed to be trimmed and the hedges reshaped.
The annual pruning, which will take place in the early fall 2021, will include:
- Bushes/shrubs on personal property (in front and alongside of resident houses and up to the HVAC system).
- Holly trees on both personal property and on Common Areas that were “flat toped” during Rejuvenation but now need to be reshaped.
- Bushes/shrubs on Common Area that may need additional light pruning.
As before, the Landscape Committee will distribute colored marking tape in each Close so that residents can mark bushes/shrubs that they do not wish to have trimmed/pruned. A resident may request that specific pruning be done. But not beyond the HVAC system or behind their personal property.
Residents will be notified via the WSG website on the actual dates for the annual pruning this coming fall.

Copperhead Snakes—How to Avoid Them
Snakes, including copperheads, are a fact of life in Fearrington Village. They are best left alone, undisturbed. Snake bites almost always occur when the snake is inadvertently disturbed, so your best bet is to try to avoid them altogether. How? Click on the link below to find out more!

MAIL KIOSK ACCESS TO BE DISRUPTED (UPDATE)
Mail Kiosk will be closed on June 15
After many concerns were expressed by residents, the re-paving of the Gathering Place Parking Lot has been modified. Please click on the following link for the specifics.
MAIL KIOSK ACCESS TO BE DISRUPTED
Re-Paving of Parking Lot Scheduled by Fearrington Homeowners’ Association
CAUTION: Beginning Monday May 24, Blalock Paving Company will be re-paving the parking lot surrounding the Gathering Place. This will impact all the buildings that use this parking area, i.e., the Gathering Place, Fearrington Cares, the Mail Kiosk, and the Fearrington Swim and Croquet Club.
Paving may be completed in 3 days, but inclement weather and other disruptions may mean that interference with normal operations lasts longer.
Vehicle access to the Gathering Place, Fearrington Cares, and the Swim and Croquet Club will not be possible at these times. Access on foot may be possible, but visitors should be aware that a building may be totally inaccessible at some times. Parking along Weathersfield and Swim and Croquet may be possible, but these streets too may be disrupted by construction equipment. It is best to avoid the area if you can.
If you need to visit any of these locations, it is wise to contact the location first for up-to-date information about access.
Access to the Mail Kiosk will be similarly disrupted. Mail delivery may be impossible some days, but we are consulting with the Post Office about maintaining it as much as possible.
We apologize for the disruption and the inconvenience, but it has been several years since the parking area was last paved, and the surface is in serious need of improvement. We ask for your understanding and cooperation while the construction is in progress.
Changes in the schedule will be posted on the Home Page of the FHA Website, https://www.fearringtonfha.org/index.php
Please direct questions to Director of Facilities, facilities@fhaboard.org
Possible Car Thieves and Email Scams in Weathersfield
BE AWARE . . . LOCK YOUR CAR . . . CLOSE YOUR GARAGE
On a regular basis, a late model SUV has been observed in Weathersfield closes between the hours of 10:30 P.M. and 1:30 A.M. THIS IS NOT SOMEONE DELIVERING NEWSPAPERS. The same car has one or more occupants and comes into the closes and appears to look for open garages and unlocked cars. When observed and called out to, they quickly flee. One of the individuals who gets out of the car is a tall, thin, Caucasian young adult. Unfortunately, these individuals are far enough away that the person observing them cannot tell the color or exact make of the car or read the license plate.
Please be aware that this is happening on a REGULAR BASIS and seems to suggest that our neighborhood is being “cased” for unlocked cars and open garages.
Please make sure that you keep your garages closed at night and, if your car is parked in the close parking lot, keep it locked.
If you are able to get identifying information about this vehicle and/or its occupants, contact the sheriff’s dept. with that information. The 24-hour non-emergency number is 919-542-2911.
In addition, Email scammers are, again, at work. If you receive an email asking for assistance of any kind with Jo Bolig, WSG President, as the sender, know that THIS IS A BOGUS EMAIL. Do not respond to these emails. The senders do not use Jo’s legitimate email address. They ask for “help” that may take the form of requesting gift cards. IGNORE ALL SUCH SCAMS.
