In my Eagle Scout project, I started by planning how to transform the overgrown area at Tule Ponds. I envisioned the planter boxes I wanted to make and outlined the tasks needed to achieve this transformation. After planning, my team and I physically cleared the space, removing weeds, bushes, and debris to create a clean area. We then used an auger rented by Cresco who were kind enough to let us rent it for free to make 1.5 ft deep holes for the posts. Then using gravel to level the posts, they were stuck in place using concrete. Planks were then cut to measurement and attached to the posts in order to complete the 2 planter boxes. Once the boxes were ready, mulch was spread around the planter boxes and soil was placed into the planter boxes. This project took 3 weeks to complete over 4 workdays to complete it fully and all materials were bought from Home Depot.

I would like to thank Dr. Blueford and Mr. Williams for guiding me throughout this project, giving me feedback throughout the project and helping me coordinate my workdays with ease. I would like to thank Mr. Mohan, Mr. Satya, Ms. Meena, and the council for giving me feedback on my project, helping me plan the project in a timely manner. I would like to thank the people who donated to my project Mr. Prince and Mr. Satya. Furthermore, I would like to thank the following scouts: Aadarsh Varigonda, Yash Chanchani, Shaunak Bodas, Pratham Gandhi,Shivaji Ganesh, Saahith Veeramaneni, Hari Sai Chinmay Patchigolla, and all adult volunteers who helped executing my project. Lastly, I would like to thank my mom and my dad for helping me the most on this project, giving me guidance and putting a lot of their time in to help me complete this project.
