Marsh Boardwalk

The marsh boardwalk was constructed using an environmentally friendly recycled material.

It is used in a number of public programs sponsored by the Reserve and by the Baruch Foundation, and by staff taking a break in their day. It is also a popular resting spot at high tide for wading birds including egrets and herons.
