Troop 1518,

I am holding my Eagle Scout Project on the 29th and 30th of May from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and would appreciate your support! I realize this is Memorial Day Weekend, but even if you can only attend for a short period of time, your help is welcome as we help make our local parks easier to enjoy. The project will be clearing an area of Hidden Pond Park of two invasive species called Oriental Bittersweet and Multiflora Rose, as well as some small thorn bushes. Please bring your own water bottles due to COVID, however disposable plastic water bottles will be provided as a way to refill your own bottles. Breakfast and lunch will be provided for all those who attend. A few tools are needed, and I will have a signup genius link for you to RSVP for time slots and also to identify any tools you are willing or able to bring. We will use shovels, hand saws, garden shears, metal rakes, and a mattock if available. Gloves are highly recommended but will not be provided, so please bring your own. Masks are also required so please bring your own, but we will have disposable masks in case you forget yours! Please wear long pants (preferably a long shirt as well), as we are working with overgrowth and thorns are hidden everywhere. There is a small patch of poison ivy that I will point out before we begin that older attendees will work on so most of you will not have to worry about that. I also recommend bug spray! Parking is available at the entrance to the Hidden Pond Nature Center, and I will place signs from the parking lot to the site. We hope to finish most of the work on 29 May, but may also need a few hours on 30 May. Thank you! The sign up genius is linked below.

Order your Troop T-Shirt by 26 May!
