You will soon be able to walk one of the most popular areas at the Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor this fall. A project to rebuild the Sandy Swale Memorial Bridge is nearing completion. Executive Director Katie Krouse says the finishing touches are being made on the trail as benches and railings will be constructed in the next few weeks. She says the Wednesday Crew of volunteers has been hard at work getting the boardwalk project done.
Krouse anticipates the boardwalk project to be completed by mid-October, and the Tribute Boards for the Sandy Swale Memorial Bridge are available for purchase by contacting the Ridges Sanctuary.
The Ridges Sanctuary is a 1,600-acre preserve and land trust that is listed as a National Natural Landmark. Founded in 1937, it was the first land trust in Wisconsin and has over five miles of hiking trails.
