The Friends of the Greenway and the Franklin Bird Club invite the public to the dedication of the Barbara McRae Memorial Viewing Platform on 2 p.m. Sunday, June 23.  

The platform is located just behind the Dog Park at the lower parking lot at Big Bear Park on Main Street.  

Guests can park at FROG Quarters or Mainspring Conservation Trust lots and walk under the bridges to the platform.  

Barbara McRae had an integral presence in both organizations.

“Our goal is to share with the community the opportunity to enjoy the wetlands as she saw them,” reads a press release for the event.
