WILDSCAPE MEMBERS HELP IN EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT
AT KINGS POND
Eagle Scout Candidate, Christian Pajusi of
the Village selected a very difficult project. He organized the
cleanup of parts of King's Pond, a neglected Wildscape in our Village.
King's Pond has been degraded by debris and waterfowl. Large stands of
the invasive plant, knotweed, prevented streambank stablization.
Christian and his crew did an amazing job, removing debris, pulling up
knotweed installing plastic liner and mulch, and replanting with verbinum in
the selected area.
Wildscape members were asked to help, and we
did! We also contributed to the cost of the plantings, thus ensuring
streambank quality. The residents of the King's Pond area were
extremely grateful, and also came out to help during the very hot two day
effort.
Congratulations to All! This is true
community spirit. We can clean up our areas, one section at a time.
