Trail from Raccoon Habitat to
Outflow Pond

Troop 468, Fremont |

My project was aimed
towards creating a trail that would be between station five and station
six. This project consisted of five steps: removing non-native plants
and branches, leveling the ground, setting up logs as a retaining wall,
securing the logs, and adding wood chips. The logs were set up
as a retaining wall for the wood chips and set a baseline for the trail.
The wood chips were spread out over the trail to prevent any unwanted
vegetation or plants from growing and ruining the trail. The trail was
supposed to be one hundred feet by four feet, but the last part had to
be cut off due to the bee hive located near station six. The trail is
now roughly ninety feet in length. After lots of planning and hard work,
my team successfully created a more adventurous and spooky trail for
children that are enrolled in Math/Science Nucleus classes.

First, I would like
to thank Dr. Blueford for giving me this wonderful opportunity to
execute my Eagle Scout project at Tule Ponds. I would also like to thank
Anytime Trees for providing the logs and wood chips used for the
trail. I would also like to give a special thanks to my parents,
Jessie and GeeFu Wang, for all the support and motivation throughout
my eagle project. Lastly, I would like to thank all of the people that
came out to support and help out: Mr. Limas Lin, Mr. John Lin, Mr.
