Local Eagle Scouts recently completed projects at Chapman's Pond & Nature Trails. Matt Major, P.K. Yonge student, was the project manager who built the beautiful gazebo below. Construction of the gazebo took over five Saturdays to complete. "This is the most ambitious project we've had at Chapman's to date," said Senior Water/Wastewater Engineer John Gifford, P.E. John, along with other GRU staff reviews and approves proposals from individuals and/or organizations like the Boy Scouts and oversees miscellaneous projects through completion.

Michael Aldridge, Eastside High School student, built a Purple Martin birdhouse (left) and four Duck boxes on the property (right).

Congratulations to these young men! These were the Eagle projects required for these students to ultimately become Eagle Scouts.
