What a morning in Rumney Marsh!

Beautiful weather, great company, and so many thoughtful questions made today’s Touring the Rumney Marsh Restoration Areas walk something special. Thank you to everyone who joined us! We loved seeing people exploring the marsh and following along with our restoration map brochures.

A special thank you to Ed Reiner, who shared the history of this landscape and the restoration projects he helped champion during his 46 years with the EPA. We’re incredibly grateful that Ed continues to give his time and knowledge as RMC’s volunteer environmental advisor.

We left feeling encouraged by how many people care about this place and its future 💚

MassDEP has withheld records requested by Rumney Marsh Conservancy concerning three unannounced inspections at WIN Waste’s Saugus facility during August and September, citing deliberative process, investigatory, and attorney-client protections.

RMC is appealing the denial to the Massachusetts Supervisor of Records. We’re asking for a specific explanation of what’s being withheld and why, and for release of any records or portions that aren’t legally protected.

The public deserves to understand the conditions documented at this facility and how they’re being addressed. We’ll share updates as the appeal moves forward.

September’s taking its final bow, so here’s a peek at what’s ahead.

Rumney Marsh trades its greens and golds for icy teals, soft blues, and snowy whites. This winter palette is inspired by a photograph we took in February, when spring tides spread a thin layer of water over the marsh platform, creating the incredible teal we’ve named “Spring Tide.”

We’ve still got plenty of fall to enjoy, but winter has its own beauty here. Which shade’s your favorite?
