Volunteer Work Party: Boardwalk Construction (CHANGED DUE TO RAIN)

  • Roy Marsh Natural Area Parking Lot 2 Station Road SOUTH HERO Vermont United States (map)

CHANGED DUE TO RAIN: Join us on Wednesday, July 29th from 9am-11am for a volunteer work party at Folsom School parking lot. We will be building puncheon-style boardwalks to place in wet spots on the Islandacres trail. We’ll have pop up tents to keep us dry!

The Islandacres Trail is SHLT's newest public access trail, linking South Street with Tracy Road. Running along the Islandacres Farm's fields and the borders of the Roy Marsh, this 1.2 mile trail is being built in 2026 and will include accessibility features, interpretive signage, and beautiful views of the marsh.

The goal for the day is to build boardwalks to protect the trail (and our boots!) in muddy sections. All are welcome, but please leave pets at home. We will meet at the Folsom School parking Lot. 

All are welcome, but please leave pets at home. We will meet at 9 at the parking lot for the Roy Marsh Natural Area and walk over together to the restoration area.

Please Bring: Water bottle, gloves (we’ll have extra), and clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting dirty.
