The Sippican Lands Trust will be reopening its Osprey Marsh Accessible Boardwalk on Thursday, June 4 to visitors by appointment only.
Starting Thursday, June 4, visitors wanting to explore the Osprey Marsh Accessible Boardwalk must book an appointment at sippicanlandstrust.setmore.com. Visitors can book an appointment for a one-hour time slot. Sippican Lands Trust is implementing an appointment system for visits to Osprey Marsh to follow current social distancing requirements due to COVID-19. For further information visit www.sippicanlandstrust.org.
As part of re-opening the Osprey Marsh Accessible Boardwalk, the Sippican Lands Trust will also be launching a “Show Your Support” campaign by encouraging visitors to drop off a rock (large or small) or rocks at the entrance to the Osprey Marsh Accessible Boardwalk which has recently been closed due to COVID-19. These rocks can be decorated or painted with displays or messages about why nature is important to you and you can drop off your rock through Saturday, June 20. SLT will place your rock or rocks along the edging of the pathway to help prevent erosion.
