DETAILS: The Wetland Ecology Boardwalk, a 500 metre boardwalk originally build in 1995-1997 by the Friends of the Frink Centre is due for replacement over the next few years. Fundraising started in 2015 in order to replace sections of the boardwalk. In September of 2015 we were able to replace 30 sections of boardwalk and added an octagonal viewing deck. This new section, now called the Miller Wetland Ecology Boardwalk and Viewing Deck, was made possible due to a significant donation made to the Frink Centre from the estate of Peter Miller in memory of his late wife and brother.
This is an excellent opportunity to get photos of people enjoying the new section of boardwalk and some great natural landscapes.
