Eagle Scout Project Creates New Boardwalk

On a recent Saturday, Eagle scout candidate Will Vinke directed a project to build a boardwalk at the low point of the estate property. In the spring, run-off makes it impossible to get to this area, where glacial deposits of roxbury puddingstone, native plants, and beautiful stone walls make it an important educational area. Over three dozen volunteers participated in the day-long effort that involved invasive removal, path clearing, along with construction, and installation of the 132′ wooden structure. The installation project capped months of planning and fundraising by the Eagle candidate who lives nearby in Canton.
