Can anyone help this Eagle Scout? He is attempting to move plants out of a gorgeous old growth forest that is to be bulldozed for a building on the corner of Rice Lake Road and Pecan this Sunday. He writes a good description below.
Hello Everyone,
I am in desperate need of volunteers for my Eagle Scout project this Sunday. My project involves taking native plants and trees out Webb Woods, and moving them to new locations so they will be saved from the bulldozer.
I have been working with the Miller Dwan Foundation, which is building its new Amberwing on the site and with Mr. D. J. and Mr. Gabler. The people at The Miller Dwan Foundation could not give me a time to work on my project until they were sure of the exact place for building. They got the area staked out this week, and informed me last night that I have until next Wednesday to get my project done. I am sorry for the short notice of the project, and that I plan on doing the project on Sunday (weather will be bad on Saturday), which is Father’s Day, but it will allow for a great time to do something special for the community with your father.I will start the project at 10 a.m. on Sunday and will be there for as long as it takes to get the project done. Please come when you can, and bring work gloves, shovels, and long clothes, because we will be working in the woods.
Also, if you have buckets and wheelbarrows, bring these as well. The woods are located at the corner of Pecan Avenue and Rice Lake Road, but we would like for you to park on Baylis Street and Wildwood Drive.
I will provide lunch and snacks for all workers. Please e-mail me ASAP if you can come so I can provide enough food. Also, you can use the volunteering hours for Community Service hours.
Thank you,
