Guy's Marsh
A Memorial Wetland Restoration ProjectIn recognition of his many contributions, a special marsh restoration project is being planned as a lasting tribute to Guy’s memory.
The project will protect and restore habitat for waterfowl and marsh birds, and provide excellent opportunities for public enjoyment of wildlife at a site located within the 50,000 acre Montezuma Wetlands Complex, 30 miles west of Syracuse, New York.
This was a favorite place for Guy and his students to visit.
