Bristol Marsh Trail
Bristol Marsh on the Delaware River in Bucks County Pennsylvania is one of the last remaining fresh water tidal marshes in Pennsylvania. The marsh next to the town of Bristol and is under easement to The Nature Conservancy which maintains the area. The Nature Conservancy wished to add an interpretive trail with overlooks to allow the public to experience the marsh without causing damage to several rare and endangered species found there. The interpretive trail links with town sidewalks and other trails in the region. Services provided were design, construction documentation and review for the trail project which included paving, overlook construction, and interpretive signage design and siting.The project included specifications, plant material aquisition, and coordination of volunteers for installation for a three acre landscape restoration in an upland area ajoining the marsh.
