Join Sippican Lands Trust’s Trail Clearing Crew at Osprey Marsh on Saturday, April 14from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm to clear the trail for the future Osprey Marsh Accessible Boardwalk.
Osprey Marsh is a 19.8-acre parcel of protected upland woods, wetlands and marshland offering spectacular views of Planting Island Cove. Osprey Marsh was donated to the Sippican Lands Trust in 2014 by Mary Howland Smoyer in cooperation with her children and her siblings, Edward Howland, George Howland and Meg Howland. The Howland family inherited the property from their grandparents, Edward and Eleanor Howland, with guidelines expressing the hope that the property be kept in its natural state.
Future plans include building a fully accessible boardwalk at Osprey Marsh that will connect with the existing trail. Volunteers on Saturday, April 14 will help to clear the path for the future Accessible Boardwalk.
Want to help? Just send an email to info@sippicanlandstrust.org to add your name to the Osprey Marsh Trail Clearing Crew list. Lunch will be provided.
Parking for Osprey Marsh is located off Point Road approximately three miles south of the intersection of Route 6 (Wareham Road) and Point Road in Marion.
