My Eagle Project was building two planter boxes in Tule Ponds to
eventually hold plants. These two boxes are held on a slope filled
with invasive species, so first, I had to get volunteers to clear
the bush area, which took ~4 hrs. Later, my dad and I went to dig
some holes to create a blueprint of where we would put the boxes,
measure the dimensions, and calculate the supplies needed.
Afterward, my dad and I went to Home Depot to select pieces of wood,
then took it to get it cut into the desired dimensions so we could
maximize the amount of wood cut from one piece. Later, we built the
two boxes with volunteers and attempted multiple times to fit the
planter box into pre-dug holes. My dad and I then went to purchase
the concrete, fix the depth of the holes, then finally poured in the
concrete, filled out the edges, and put in some wood chips.
The people who helped me were my dad,
friends, fellow scouts, and people at Tule Ponds.
