Scott Hobson, director of environmental permitting for Caputo and Wick, LTD., Rumford; Scott Ruhren, director of conservation for the Audubon Society of Rhode Island, and Brian Bullock, York Bridge Concepts, Tampa, Fl., original builder of the boardwalk at the Audubon Society's Environmental Education Center, look over the fire damage.

The Audubon Society has set up a fund to help pay for restoring a Bristol boardwalk that was damaged in a brush fire last month.

Today, a group that includes members of the Audubon as well as representatives from a Florida bridge construction team is heading out to the boardwalk, which winds through a salt marsh, to assess the damage. The Audubon Society hopes to to complete restoration, with the help of the Florida team, by this summer.

The Audubon Society is asking for donations from members and other supporters to help defray the cost of repairs to the boardwalk after the April 17 fire.

To learn how to help, or make a donation, visit the Audubon's Web site or call at 401-949-5454.
