Your marsh. Your voice.
Raise awareness, share the truth, and protect what matters most.
Make it known.
The North Shore has a hidden jewel right under our noses. Most people drive or ride the train through it every day without realizing its history, its beauty, or its importance. Rumney Marsh Conservancy exists to share its story and inspire people to care for this rare coastal ecosystem.
There are threats.
Rumney Marsh is more than a beautiful wetland. It sits beside an aging trash incinerator, an unlined ash landfill, multiple stormwater outfalls that drain directly into the marsh, and an abandoned I-95 embankment that is eroding and restricts natural tidal flow.
Together, these features place ongoing pressure on the ecosystem and nearby communities. Understanding what is here is the first step toward protecting it.
