West Rutland Marsh Boardwalk is refurbished

Through a generous donation, the Rutland County Audubon Society has been able to successfully refurbish nearly the entire boardwalk on Marble Street at the West Rutland Marsh.

Carpenter Dennis Duhaine did a wonderful job of making the well-worn, oft-used, (and unfortunately, vandalized) structure look fresh and new, as well as making it safer for all to use.

All are invited to see it for themselves and enjoy the view and the birds at the society’s feeding station there.

At the boardwalk entrance is an informative kiosk, which is also awaiting refurbishing due to weather and vandalism. Next to the kiosk is a feeding station with various feeders and seeds surrounding an old cellar hole.

One of the chapter board members reached out on Facebook for information on the history of the building that once rested on that foundation.
