In the late 1990s Travis Wetland Trust called for donations to help build a boardwalk over swampy ground close to what is now the Anne Flanagan Dell.

Donors names were engraved on planks and put in place. Over the years, despite some cleaning and care, the engraving has become damaged and harder to read. The Trust Board has decided to continue with some basic care, while allowing boards to undergo ‘dignified decay’ in place.

The names on the planks are listed below. We welcome input from donors if we have made any spelling mistakes.

We would also love to hear from anyone who was a donor, or their family, who has a story to tell. It would be interesting to know if they have continued to enjoy the wetland and fostered similar interest for their children.

Long time Trust supporter and board donor Stuart Payne has very kindly written an account of his involvement over many years. This can be read in the April 2026 newsletter.
