Thank you!

The Buy a Board campaign is complete thanks to your help!

Thank you to all who have joined the Wetlands Walk “Build a Boardwalk” project by purchasing a cedar board. The boardwalk is part of our Gephart Exhibit Trail and runs from the floating board walk (that crosses the marsh pond) back to the exit trail. This walkway was last repaired 20 years ago and needed to be replaced. As part of the reconstruction, 36 support posts were replaced with timbers milled from a locust tree removed from Kirkwood Gardens last fall (for safety reasons). Locust is a perfect timber to use in this wet location, and we expect it will last more than 50 years. All of the decking is cedar and should last for 20 years.
