Community Contributions 2005-2007
Scout Support 2005-2007
Thirty-three
local scouts from thirteen troops worked tirelessly during 2005-2007 to
complete a myriad of projects in eleven parks. Because of their hard work
and dedication, tax dollars could be directed to complete other projects.
Several neighborhood parks were improved thanks to the efforts of these
scouts. Big Bend Park’s trail system was upgraded with the removal of
honeysuckle and a new layer of chips and dust. Fifty trees were edged and
mulched at Fence Row and Rosewood Parks. Tree identification signs, benches,
split rail fence, and a fence around the aerator pump were installed at
Rosewood Park. Bridge replacement and tree removal projects were completed
at Greene Line Park. Beechwood Springs Park’s playground and park area
benefited from a general maintenance, clean up, and mulching.
Honeysuckle, an invasive species, is present in many of our parks. Removal
is time consuming and often labor intensive. Sunlight can once again reach
the ground in the wooded sections of Schoolhouse, Oak Grove, and Black Oak
Parks thanks to several scouts. Additionally, the oak grove at Oak Grove
Park was mulched after being cleared of the honeysuckle.
Trail
systems are also affected by honeysuckle growth. Honeysuckle removal and
trail maintenance projects were completed at Rosewood, Beechwood Springs,
Bill Yeck, and Grant Parks. Bridge and step construction projects assist
with access to remote areas in Grant, Woodbourne Springs, and Bill Yeck
Parks. Erosion and drainage issues were addressed in the Bill Yeck and Grant
Park trail systems.
Bat, bluebird, and duck boxes were constructed
and placed in numerous parks as well.
Listed below are the names of
the scouts that completed the projects mentioned above and their troop
affiliation. Thanks to this wonderful group of community leaders for their
contributions!
