Retaining Walls and landscaping across from Pond C by Joseph Wiebe Troop 102, Fremont

 I led a group of boys in installing 10 retaining wall sections in the slope behind the Tule Ponds building. First I contacted log companies and found places willing to donate logs to my eagle project. Then I, along with help from some scouts, collected these logs and transported them to the Tule Ponds worksite. Then we prepared the slope for the digging of trenches. Next we dug trenches in which to place the logs. While some boys were digging trenches, others were preparing the logs for placement in trenches (i.e. selecting logs, trimming logs, cutting logs, etc.). Then I led them in placing logs into the trenches and backfilling the log retaining wall sections with dirt before tamping the dirt down. Next we planted a native plant behind each retaining wall. Last of all, we collected wood chips through donation and spread them across the whole of the slope.
