Milton town officials contend that the yards would fill in valuable and scenic wildlife refuge and, worse, connect Milton by land with Dorchester. Milton residents, mainly of middle and upper incomes, fear being closely tied to poorer areas in Boston. These objections will make the fight over the marshland an emotional one.
