Madelyn Marx Preserve

Offering spectacular views of coastal salt marsh, this 24-acre preserve was named for founding Board member Madelyn Marx. With forested sections as well as thick low brush, this preserve provides considerable habitat to coastal birds as well as waterfowl. The property is connected to the Sea Road Preserve via the town-owned Bridle Path, and contiguous to Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge property.
