EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT COMPLETED

Curtis McLellan of Plymouth completed his Eagle Scout service project recently for Wildlands Trust.  He installed a wooden bench, the new sign, and the trail markers on our Emery Preserve in Plymouth.  Wildlands appreciates the research, planning, management, and general hard work that have gone into this project.  The bench is well-built, sturdy, and comfortable.  The trail markers he installed has helped enhance the visitor experience, and the sign that he designed is tasteful and highly visible so that visitors can find this wonderful trail – which is now even more improved by the raking and brush removal that he and his volunteers performed.  These are all significant improvements to the Emery Preserve, and we expect them to last for many years to come.

Curtis has shown great leadership, care, and project management skills throughout his Eagle Scout service project, and his professionalism and good nature made it a pleasure working with him.

We thank Curtis for choosing to work with Wildlands Trust on his project.  We are a small, friendly non-profit organization accomplishing great things.  Our members and volunteers support our efforts and are very important to us – thank you!

If you have a chance, check out the new bench at the Beech tree in our Emery Preserve!

YOUTH UNPLUGGED....

Brockton High School Envirothon Team Trains at Worcester Technical High School

The MA Envirothon Competition invites high school students across the state to test their knowledge on Natural Resource Science and contemporary environmental issues.  Wildlands Trust is proud to sponsor and help coach the Brockton High School Envirothon team.  Last month, the team attended a full day of workshops at the Worcester Technical High School to learn more about the competition, how to use field guides,  invasive species in MA, and more.

SPOTLIGHT ON STEWARDSHIP

Thank you Volunteers!

We had some great Trailblazer days in January, helping clear trees and remove trash from the Great Neck Conservation Area in Wareham and the Tucker Preserve in Pembroke.  Despite some cold weather both mornings, we had a great turn out of dedicated volunteers. Thank you!

Community Garden 2.0

We want your input!

Wildlands Trust hosted a fun and successful Community Garden at our Duxbury office, and we would like to bring the same thing with us here in Plymouth.  We are currently working hard to ensure our garden plans are top-notch and fit community needs.  

We are asking all our supporters who are interested in having a garden plot or participating in our gardening programs to fill out a survey to make sure we are providing the type of garden you want and the programs that interest you.

 

Surveys will be accepted through the month of January.  If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the project, please email us at stewarship@wildlandstrust.org.
