Improving the Ipswich River Water Trail: New Kiosk in North Reading

As part of a massive grant project funded by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), we are installing news kiosks on river landings throughout the watershed. This past weekend, Ipswich River volunteers and Programs Coordinator Ryan O’Donnell installed the first of the new kiosks. The kiosk was installed at the Central Street Landing at Ipswich River Park in North Reading. The kiosk will have information on the landing, the native and invasive flora and fauna of the river, and the newly upgraded Ipswich River Water Trail Map. 

Amazing volunteers (left to right) Brandon, Glenn and Riley dig the post holes for the new kiosk.

Many thanks to our volunteers who installed the kiosk: 

Brandon Boyd from Ipswich, who is one of our RiverWatch monitors, a regular Herring Count volunteer and assessed tidal crossings this spring as part of a Massachusetts Environmental Trust grant project.

Glenn Bambury from Middleton, who along with being a Middleton Stream Team member maintains Mortalo Landing in Middleton. 

Riley Sandberg from Reading volunteers for our annual River Clean ups and his mother is one of our RiverWatch monitors, making him a legacy volunteer! 

Glenn (center), who is a professional landscaper and maintains Mortalo landing in Middleton, makes sure this landing will looks its best.

Thanks also to Will Holton and Don Ruzecki who built this kiosk, as well as many of the other kiosks along the Ipswich River Water Trail.
