Eagle Project:
For his Eagle project John rebuilt the trailhead where N. Longfellow Street terminates at Upton Hill Regional Park in Arlington (this area was very badly overgrown and had become an illegal dumping area). The project involved removal of 8 very large trees, removal of extensive invasives and underbrush, removal of trash and debris, installation of a drainage culvert, building of a large garden bed with about 30 azaleas and a magnolia tree, and installation of a “bollard” (vehicular traffic barricade) at the entrance to the park’s Orange Trail. Approximately 135 Man-Hours of work.
John is interested in attending the University of Utah to major in Business Management.
Thanks to the Board of Review members Ted Gerarden, John Kelly, John Manning, Rita Rooney, and Stuart Shelton.
